Summary "Studies on Epidemic Influenza: Comprising Clinical and Laboratory Investigations" by members of the faculty of the School of Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work centers on the clinical and laboratory studies conducted during the influenza pandemic of 1918-1919, examining various aspects of the disease, including its history, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, treatment, and prevention strategies. The opening of the document provides historical context around the 1918 influenza epidemic, detailing how it spread through Pittsburgh, particularly among military camps and educational institutions. It outlines the responses of medical professionals and hospitals, including the setup of makeshift emergency facilities to accommodate the influx of patients. The introduction emphasizes the chaos and urgency of the situation, the high incidence of infection, and the mortality rates observed during this period. Moreover, it sets the stage for future detailed discussions by establishing the groundwork of investigations carried out by the university's medical staff in response to the outbreak.
