THE BEAUFORT NEWS THURSDAY FEB. 4 1926 PAGE THREE HEALTH TALKS By The Bureau of Health Ed- iwfition, North Carolina Beard cf Health (State Board of Health) PNEUMONIA. Following "colds' 'and "influenza" then comes pneumonia. Not that pneumonia is always preceded by either of these for often it is not, often it comes like a bolt from a clear sky. Pneumonia is associated in our thoughts with colds and in fluenza because it is a respiratory in fection and the discussion of it fol lows the discussion of them because it is the most often fatal. It is safe to say, however, that pneumonia is always preceded by something which debilitated. Often this was a cold or infleuce but it may have been unusual fatigue of exposure. If there is added to this factor of debility an irritation of the lungs, as colds or influenza will do. then pneumonia is much more like ly to occur. Pneumonia has some times followed an ether anaesthetic for some surgical operation. The cause of pneumonia is a spec ific germ the pneumococcus which grows, when planted, and mul tiplies in some part of the lung structure. Like other infections thisbacteria when growing eliminates a substance which is peculiarly toxic to the human being. Catarrhal pneumonia, or brancho pneumonia as it is often called, is more common in children and the aged. In children it often follows measles or whooping cough. Croupous pneumonia is often call ed lobar pneumonia, fibrinous pneu monia, acute pneumonia or pneumon itis. Lobar pneumonia occurs most ly between the ages of twenty and fifty and statistics show that there are four times as many cases in women as men. In three-fourths of the cases of lobar pneumonia the lower lobe of the right lung is af fected and in one-half of the cases this lobe is alone the seat of the dis ease. Unlike most other Infectious dis eases one attack of pneumonia does not protect against subsequent at tack. No immunity is produced and the lung once diseased is more likely to again become infected. Also the lung that has been crippled by pneu monia is much more susceptible to I tubercular infection. I Pneumonia is often' ushered in with a chill, rapid rise of tempera- ture, and with pains in the chest. ! When this happens you can't get a doctor too quick, and don't wait un til he comes to go to bed, Negli gence at this time may cost a life. BAY VIEW ITEMS.
