- W4245794373 abstract "A medical resident was on duty at New York Hospital one night in 1979 when a 27-year-old security guard was admitted with a rare form of pneumonia. As inexperienced as the resident was, he knew that this very rare condition was usually diagnosed only in people with a history of cancer, organ transplantation, or other conditions involving immune system suppression. This otherwise healthy young man had none of those. Weeks later, when the resident presented this case at inner-city rounds, a number of hands shot up. These clinicians had seen similar cases. The resident's report of this New York City outbreak was one of three that formed the basis for the first published report of the disease we would come to know as AIDS. Three years later, this physician, Dr. Henry Masur, arrived at the National Institutes of Health where he joined established NIH researchers already anxiously trying to understand this deadly new condition. At key communications offices on the NIH campus, phones were ringing incessantly. Reporters all around the world wanted to know what NIH was doing about it. As public communicators, we were learning about the disease along with the researchers. Why did it seem to disproportionately affect gay men? Why were people with the disease dying from ordinary infections? We were learning the answers to these questions as they unfolded, translating what we learned into plain English, and getting the information out to the public. A prominent AIDS researcher came into the office of one of my colleagues, sat next to her, and made a simple drawing of how immune cells appeared to be affected by the new virus, explaining it to her at the same time scientists themselves were just beginning to understand it. Dr. Masur is now chief of the Critical Care Medicine Department of the NIH Clinical Center. I covered his account of his first meeting with an AIDS patient for an NIH employee newsletter when he delivered the NIH Astute Clinician Lecture in 2002, which honors scientists who observe and investigate unusual clinical occurrences." @default.
