All diseases exist on a continuum, and the damage often begins early—sometimes as soon as a child is weaned off breast milk ...

This report describes a case of fatal pneumonitis with alveolar-capillary block in a patient who had been exposed to a disease of cattle known to be caused by an agent of the bedsonia group.
