Description
O The Discovery of Antibiotics Infectious diseases were among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the 1900s, and tuberculosis and bacterial pneumonia were some of the most frequent causes of death during childhood (Cohen, 1998). In 18th-century France, half of all children did not reach age 2; infant mortality in Bombay was ~50% between 1900 and 1920; and during the second half of the 19th century, up to one-third of the children in Western Europe and the United States did not reach their first birthday, with half of those deaths being caused by infectious diseases (Lee et al., 2007; Mulholland, 2007). Kohn and Weiner (1936) examined 1000 children admitted with non-tuberculous pneumonia to the pediatric services of Mount Sinai Hospital in New York between November 1926 and March 1933; they found overall mortality rates of around 20% and even higher rates, around 39%, among children younger than 1.
