Overview

Goodpasture syndrome was first discovered by Dr.Ernest William Goodpasture, an American pathologist and physician. He studied the influenza pandemic in 1919 and described a fatal disease that was associated with glomerulonephritis and pulmonary hemorrhage.

Historical Perspective

  • The name Goodpasture's syndrome was first coined in 1957 by Stanton and Tange in Melbourne, Australia to describe 9 patients who presented with glomerulonephritis along with pulmonary hemorrhage.[1]
  • In a book titled "Earnest William Goodpasture: Scientist, Scholar, Gentelman" published by Dr. Robert D. Collins, it was stated Dr. Goodpasture believed that the name of this syndrome should not be named after him, and deemed it inappropriate as he had not studied the disease.[2][3]
  • However, the name was adopted and is used today when describing the syndrome.
