"Today is #WorldPneumoniaDay. Here is a depiction of broncho-pneumonia caused by Mustard Gas during WW1. Pneumonia can now be prevented through vaccines, and can treated with antibiotics, but it is still a leading cause of death in Africa and South Asia.
This picture is from Dr. Edward Bell Krumbhaar (1882-1966), a former President of our home, The College of Physicians of Philadelphia.
