1/ A story about anti-GBM disease for #ThrowbackThursday — starting with the initial case report by Dr. Ernest Goodpasture himself. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19680020/
2/ In late September 1918, Dr. Ernest Goodpasture admitted a patient to the hospital with what initially appeared to be a quote “typical attack of influenza.” He presented with a 3 day history of cough, dyspnea and fever to 103.0.
3/ He had no clinical evidence of pneumonia. His fever resolved and he was discharged home 3 days later. He felt ill after discharge, but returned to work. His cough persisted though, and weight loss and fatigue worsened.
