The expansiveness of this conclusion immediately precipitated a controversy2which at the present time seems unnecessarily acrimonious since the statement erred not so much in principle as in accuracy, requiring, therefore, merely modification, and not rejection as recommended on the ground that the organism is involved in pneumonia only in the capacity of a secondary invader. It was Weichselbaum3who subsequently clarified the dispute when...References1. FRIEDLÄNDER C: Ueber die Schizomyceten bei der acuten fibrösen Pneumonie, Arch. path. Anat., 1882, lxxxvii, 319-324.
