While it is probably not a new disease entity, it came into particular prominence in 19381, 2, 3following the introduction of sulfapyridine. This drug proved to be effective in the treatment of the true bacterial pneumonias, but not of other kinds of pneumonia, variously termed atypical bronchopneumonia, acute pneumonitis, atypical pneumonia, virus pneumonia, etc. The subsequent sulfonamide derivatives, and, more recently, penicillin, served further to differentiate the bacterial pneumonias from the syndrome now termed "primary atypical pneumonia," since...Bibliography1.
