Friedländer's conception, however, that it was the cause of all pneumonias, was disproved by Fränkel just prior to Weichselbaum's report. On the other hand, Fränkel considered the micro-organism only a secondary invader and not the primary cause of any pneumonia—a conception that was also partially erroneous, and one that divided medical opinion for many years.Sisson and Thompson3emphasized this and pointed out that Osler as late as 1912 expressed Fränkel's view in his text book on...References1 WEICHSELBAUM A: Über die Aetiologie der acuten Lungen- und Rippen-fellentzündungen, Med.
