WILLIAM BRADY, M.D. Readers should address inquiries re: Dr. William Brady. 265 El Camino. Beverl, Hills. Calif.' VIRUS PNEUMONIA ' A victim of pneumonia is usu ally pictured as a person with a high fever, gasping for breath, perhaps silent ly blue in the face and ex hibiting great p r o s t r ation. That picture is accurate enough in a severe case of lobar pneumo n i a, although cases of lesser severity pro duce lesser symptoms. ui. drariv virus pneu- monia is pneumonia in its full est sense but it differs in many respects from the bacteria caused variety known either as lobar pneumonia or broncho pneumonia. The distinction be tween the latter two is that in lobar pneumonia, a whole sec tion or lobe of the lung is af fected while the remainder of the lungs are not involved. In broncho-pneumonia, the process is "patchy" and may involve sev . eral different areas of the lung at the terminations of the bron chial tubes. Because virus pneumonia does not follow the usual pattern either as to symptoms or effects it is also called atypical pneu monia, meaning not typical. Virus pneumonia invariably follows a preliminary respirato ry infection conforming to the "flu" type if it develops at all. The initial "flu" symptoms may vary from those common to CRI (the common cold) accompanied by malaise (indisposition fa tigue lethargy lack of the sense of well-being), to feverish ness, pains in the back and ex tremities, headache, racking cough and prostration. Virus pneumonia may be sus pected when one has CHI from which he docs not readily re cover. The "cold which hangs on." is another way of express ing it. (It must be remembered that lobar pneumonia may also conform to this pattern, occa- sionally). Severe virus pneumo nia may produce symptoms of ordinary pneumonia in the first few days, but the signs that the doctor finds upon examination are not those of ordinary pneu monia. X-ray examination is usually necessary to establish the diag nosis. It is often surprising how much involvement of the lungs the x-ray will reveal, when the ordinary signs and symptoms are comparatively slight. Thus, it is not unusual for a person to walk around, day after day, under the impression that he is merely having a little difficulty in "throwing off a cold," to find upon x-ray examination that he has an extensive pneumonia. This has happened to victims , of lobar pneumonia as well, but it must be conceded that they are much sicker persons throughout. Although cough and respirato ry irritation in general are com mon to virus pneumonia, these are usually secondary in annoy ance to tiie "washed-out" feeling the utter lack of energy and disinclination to effort which characterizes most cases. In or dinary pneumonia, fever, cough and respiratory difficulty are more prominent, usually confin ing the victim to bed on his own SAN FRANCISCO ONI WAY 1.10 HOUND TRIP . . . 10.45 eyed Trip Titters Gee fr Mesrai . BITOT Jflfth 4 Bartlert Stt. Phone 11 cd:N!i;L) " - -- , IS DIFFERENT decision. It is difficult to distinguish be tween virus pneumonia, parrot fever, "Q" fever, influenza and other diseases caused by viruses. It is probable that many cases of virus pneumonia are never iden tified as such particularly the milder cases. Virus pneumonia is different also in that the drugs which or dinarily make short work of bacteria-caused pneumonia, are in effective in the virus type. The true nature of the infection often is revealed by the lack, of re sponse to treatment. Virus pneumonia, barring com plications, is a self-limiting dis ease with a very low mortality rate. Recently, reports that some of the newer antibiotic drugs such as Chloromycetin have been effective in this disease, have stirred new hopes in treatment. Carriers those who harbor the virus in their respiratory ap paratus without developing the disease appear to be just as in strumental in spreading the dis ease as the victims themselves. Actually, close contact with vic tims of the disease does not seem to result in as much cross-infection as might be expected. I am unable to explain this peculiar ity at the present time, but it could be that previous infection with the virus confers a lasting immunity to persons who other wise would be susceptible. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Alarmed I dread company, thinking makes Dy Dead nurt, my Drain swims, niy vfslnn hlurK. T am rienressed and alarmed about' myself. Are these aifins that I am losing my mind, or that J will have a nervoua breakdown? (Alarmed) Answer Wo. Any such train o symptoms calls tor a complete physf cal examination, followed by special examinations and interviews bearing upon nervous and mental investiga tions. A purely physical condition may account for the entire com plaint. Go to a physician now and save yoursell endless and unnecessary worry. Tonsils and Arthritis I am 52 and have had arthritis for 7 years and can hardly walk. My tonsils are badly infected but I know of cases where removal of tonsils did no good. 1 dread the thought of what might be a useless operation. What can I do? (R. L. R.l Answer I know of a lot more cases where removal of tonsils had no ap preciable effect on arthritis. The re moval of '-foci of Infection." either In tonsils or elsewhere falls too often to result in improvement. If the 'focus oi imection is not tne cause of tne arthritis, naturally no relief will fol low its removal. Thousands of people have "foci of Infection" without hav ing arthritis. Tonsils mdy be removeo by a series of electro-coagulation treatments. These are painless and bloodless, but the entire process takes time. (Copyright 1050 by John T. Dllle Co.) Pennsylvanians Say Their Syrup Better , Meyersdale, Pa. (U.R) Meyers- aaie claims to be the "sweetest most sugary community In the couniry.
