Experts investigate death of Specialist Joshua M. Neusche in Iraq
28.07.2003 [16:01]The U.S. government is investigating whether the death of a Missouri National Guardsman is related to 11 other incidents of severe pneumonia among soldiers stationed in the Middle East.
The U.S. Army Surgeon General's Office confirmed Friday two teams of epidemiology experts will investigate the 12 cases, two of which were fatal. National Guard Spc. Joshua Neusche, 20, of Montreal, Mo., was one of the two troops who died.
Deploying such teams is rare, said Col. Robert DeFraites, the surgeon general's senior preventative-medicine physician. "This only happens one or two times every year."
A two-person team has already been sent to the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, where Neusche was treated before his death on July 12. An additional six-person team is gearing up to fly to undisclosed areas of Iraq, where other soldiers began suffering from the illness.
The teams will study everything from the soldiers' medical records and tissue samples to soil, water and air samples, DeFraites said.
"Nothing's going to be ruled out," DeFraites said. "When you go into one of these things, you keep an open mind. ... There's enough concern about these two fatal cases (occurring) in such a short period of time" to warrant the investigation.
The colonel said they've not yet been able to identify a specific bacterium or virus that could have caused such severe cases of pneumonia, but added that 17 soldiers have died from acute respiratory distress syndrome in the past five years.
"It's not entirely unheard of for this to happen," DeFraites said. It is uncommon for pneumonia to cause a breakdown in organs other than the lungs, he said.
Neusche's parents said they were told their son's kidneys, liver and muscles began to deteriorate after he contracted the illness.
"The problem with Josh's death was they didn't know what they were fighting," the soldier's father, Mark Neusche, said Friday. "The doctor said (Josh) got into some type of toxin that began degenerating his muscles."
Without releasing specific numbers, DeFraites said there has been a noticeable increase in pneumonia cases among soldiers since the war in Iraq began.
Under normal circumstances, the colonel said, they expect to see 750 cases worldwide each year among troops.
Considering the number of troops in Iraq, DeFraites said the incidents of pneumonia are exceeding military expectations ― 10-20 cases among deployed soldiers each month. Most of the patients have served in Kuwait and Iraq.
Since March 1, the 12 soldiers serving overseas in the Central Command's Area of Responsibility have fallen ill with pneumonia and had to be placed on respirators, the doctor said. Two suffered from a serious form of the illness called pneumococcus pneumonia, but lived.
Many of those soldiers have recovered and are back to work, but questions still linger as to what actually killed Neusche and another unnamed soldier, who died June 17.
