- W2147113054 abstract "A hundred years ago, Sir William Osler described the Pneumococcus as the “Captain of the men of death” referring to John Bunyuan’s phrase in his book, “The life and death of Mr Badman”, written more than 200 years earlier: “Yet the captain of all these men of death that came against him to take him away was the consumption, for it was that that brought him down to the grave”. For Sir William Osler the captain of the men of death was not “consumption” [tuberculosis]) but pneumonia or the pneumococcus. During his time acute pneumonia was responsible for more deaths than tuberculosis and the pneumococcus killed adolescents and young adults in the prime of their lives. Death followed a severe illness with high fever from 105° F to 107° F, fighting for air with rapid and shallow, often painful breathing. The condition escalated to a crisis characterized by a sharp fall in temperature, and in many, death. Concerning those that recover Osler states, “Usually there is an abundant sweat and the patient sinks into a comfortable sleep” and “With the fall in the fever the respirations become reduced almost to normal, the pulse slows, and the patient passes from perhaps a state of extreme hazard and distress to one of safety and comfort”." @default.
