For people like me who weren’t familiar, aspirin toxicity may have led to the extreme mortality at the peak of the Spanish flu. [0] > The hypothesis presented herein is that aspirin contributed to the incidence and severity of viral pathology, bacterial infection, and death, because physicians of the day were unaware that the regimens (8.0–31.2 g per day) produce levels associated with hyperventilation and pulmonary edema in 33% and 3% of recipients, respectively.
