Scope and Contents

Black and white film with sound depicting Isaac A. Abt, MD giving a lecture on childhood pneumonia to a class. A student gives the details and symptoms of the patient, a 28-month-old girl. Abt examines the child, performs a pulmonary examination with percussion on her chest and back, listens to her heart with a stethoscope, and displays an x-ray of her chest. Students are asked to examine the patient, performing the tests Abt demonstrated. Abt then describes the various pneumonias of childhood in great detail: their frequency, causes, symptoms, and diagnosis, the care of sick children, and his hope for the future development of a specific treatment for pneumonia. He explains that the patient seems to have primary bronchopneumonia while also discussing the difficulties of diagnosing pneumonia in infants and young children.

Film by Isaac A. Abt, MD. Presented through the courtesy of Mead Johnson & Company.
