He was specifically looking to identify fungal pneumonia not just any old kind of pneumonia. The linked Wikipedia article indicates mortality in immunocompromised patients can be as high as 90 percent. That sentence fits with my general impression that fungal pneumonia is both real serious shit and also typically found in people with advanced cases of other serious medical problems, like AIDS or cystic fibrosis. It sounds reasonably plausible to me that it's feasible to detect fungal pneumonia in specific this way with some reasonable confidence level. |
