Because of this general belief, much of the huge volume of work done during the 1918-1920 pandemic was concerned with a further study of the relationship of this bacterium to the disease. The results obtained were confused and contradictory; some seemed to support the view thatH. influenzaewas the cause of the pandemic disease, others opposed it. An unbiased review of the large literature on the subject leads to the conclusion that, while...Bibliography1. PFEIFFER R: Vorläufige Mittheilungen über die Erreger der Influenza, Deutsch. med.
