Warren T. (Warren Taylor) Vaughan

Warren T. Vaughan was an American physician and medical writer, identified in library records as Warren Taylor Vaughan (1893–1944). He wrote Influenza: An Epidemiologic Study in 1921, an early scientific work examining influenza outbreaks and pandemic patterns.

He later became especially associated with the growing field of allergy. Works credited to him include Allergy and Applied Immunology, Primer of Allergy, Practice of Allergy, and Strange Malady: The Story of Allergy. Sources describing later editions of Primer of Allergy say the book was valued for explaining allergy in a way that patients, general practitioners, and specialists could all follow.

Vaughan died before a later revision of Primer of Allergy was prepared, and that edition was completed by J. Harvey Black. Reliable source material found here confirms his publications and dates, but I was not able to verify more detailed biographical information such as his training, appointments, or personal life from strong sources, so those details are best left unstated.
