Pathologica in the time of "Spanish flu".

Pathologica in the time of "Spanish flu". Pathologica. 2018 Dec;110(4):316-320 Authors: Patriarca C, Clerici CA Abstract The pandemic "Spanish flu", that in a few weeks of the autumn 1918 caused in Italy a number of deaths between 350.000 and 600.000, was widely discussed by the scientific community, although very little of that debate leaked out, because of the military censorship. In the present article we comment on the original papers describing the hemorrhagic pneumonia, and on discussions about the ideas of the origin of the pandemic infection (Pfeiffer bacillus, vs streptococcus or other bacteria vs a "viral hypotesis") that occurred in Pathologica during and soon after that ominous pandemia.
