 was a potentially fatal disease of the lungs in, at least, humans. Sir Francis Bacon and and the mother of Ian Stratford were known to have both died from it. (PROSE: Heart of TARDIS, PROSE: The Banquo Legacy)

The Third Doctor was also susceptible to it — though it was not known if was fatal to Time Lords or if it even had the capacity to trigger regeneration. When once he emerged from the Atlantic Ocean after "General Steelfist" had him driven off a British cliff, the Doctor complained that he was going to catch pneumonia if he didn't get into dry clothes. (COMIC: Steelfist)

Without the protection offered by penicillin, Earth fell prey to new strains of pneumonia and meningitis in 1956 and the survivors never developed a space programme. Consequently, the Knights of Velyshaa were not defeated by the Earth Alliance in 3562 as they otherwise would have been. (AUDIO: The Sirens of Time)
