title: [Past and present of pneumonia].
abstract: A comparison is made between the most common types of pneumonias usually observed when Vincenzo Cuomo was active and those of the present day. Socially-transmitted pneumonias are contrasted with hospital-acquired pneumonias, mostly due to Gram negative bacteria, often multiresistant to antibiotics. Additional pneumonias are due to mycoplasmas, rickettsiae and Legionella and also to viruses, such as Cytomegalovirus, for example.
