Overview
Goodpasture syndrome was first discovered by Dr.Ernest William Goodpasture, an American pathologist and physician, who studied the influenza pandemic in 1919, described a fatal disease that was associated with glomerulonephritis and pulmonary hemorrhage.
Historical Perspective
- The name Goodpasture's syndrome was first coined in 1957 in Melbourne, Australia by Stanton and Tange to describe 9 patients who presented with glomerulonephritis along with pulmonary hemorrhage.[1]
- In a book titled "Earnest William Goodpasture: Scientist, Scholar, Gentelman" 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.
