A MAJOR study into an outbreak of pneumonia at a North Tyneside school in 2006 has resulted in many lessons being learned, a health expert has said.

The North East Health Protection Agency (HPA) published the paper on the British Medical Journal website.

In October 2006, a serious outbreak of five cases of pneumonia was caused by pneumococcus bacteria in the reception classes of Priory Primary School in Percy Park Road, Tynemouth.

The outbreak began at the end of October - just before half-term - when four-year-old Jack Palmer began complaining of a high fever and shortness of breath, and was rushed to the heart and lung transplant unit at Newcastle's Freeman Hospital.

His frantic parents Ross, 39, and Jennifer, 35, were told their son had pneumonia, but had suffered complications and was being treated for puss lying around his lungs.
