“Walking pneumonia is a layman’s term for a type of pneumonia that, in medical terms, we call atypical pneumonia. That just means that they [the patients] don't follow the sort of normal ...
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), also known as environmental mycobacteria, atypical mycobacteria [1] and mycobacteria other than tuberculosis (MOTT), are mycobacteria which do not cause tuberculosis or leprosy/Hansen's disease. NTM can cause pulmonary diseases that resemble tuberculosis. [2]
Hobart Ansteth Reimann (1897–1986) was an American virologist and physician. Reimann made contributions to medicine with his 1938 landmark article [3] on atypical pneumonia (the "first description of virus pneumonia" [4]); and articles on periodic disease [5] and the common cold (1948). [6]
More than 900,000 Americans become infected with pneumonia each year, and walking pneumonia (also called atypical pneumonia) is on the rise in the United States, especially in children.
