Non-specific forms of Acute Pneumonia (AP) have been known in medicine for a long time, well beyond two millennium. "Pneumonia was described 2,500 years ago by Hippocrates, the father of medicine" [1]. However, could someone state today that this nosology is also well-studied as it is well-known? The comparison of scientific explanation of AP nature and actual results of its treatment shows a lot of contradictions and paradoxes. The substantiated dissatisfaction by the contemporary state of this problem forces one to search the ways of its solution while investing enormously into this work. In this connection, it is recalled that World Health Organization has spent 39 billions of dollars in 2010-2015 years to solve this problem [2]. And where are the results? During last decades all difficulties and dangers in AP treatment were explained solely by biological aggression of its agents. This valuation, as a rule, is given in current moment, although AP etiology alters from time to time. For example, "Staphilococcal disaster" that happened in 60-70 years of last century "leaved the scene" quietly and today even the most dangerous Staphylococcal variety are rarity in AP etiology. In the years following that, other microorganisms replaced Staphylococcus including forms not previously found among exciters of AP. The current generation of doctors trained "in fear" in front of Streptococcus pneumonia. In this situation, the antibacterial medical assistance was supplemented by total vaccination of the population in developed countries. The results of this campaign also fell short of expectations. "Among children ≤18 years of age, the annual empyema-associated hospitalization rates increased almost 70% between 1997 and 2006, despite decreases in the bacterial pneumonia and invasive pneumococcal disease rates. Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is not decreasing the incidence of empyema" [3]. Currently, the image of "new" infectious threats arises. "Respiratory viruses, rather than bacterial pathogens, were most commonly detected

Various aspects of human life proceed according to the existing biological rules and laws regardless of our consciousness. The influence of such biological stereotypes is manifested in all possible situations, including in the state of disease. The presence of certain patterns in the development of diseases allows them to distinguish and classify. The identification of such biological patterns was given great importance throughout the history of medicine, and established and proven facts were immediately included in the basic training program of doctors. Therefore, at first glance it may seem that modern curricula of medical students include many abstract topics and theoretical disciplines that are very far from the practical sections of medicine.
