I had heard of this disease before, and it does help explain parts of the vampire myth origin. I've also read information that would lead to the coffin theorys and such. When a person dies and is buried, before they had proper embalming and such, they body would decompose, so gases would escape, and someone standing over an open coffin could hear a 'groan' or a 'snore' like the corpse was only sleeping. Also, the gums would shrivel, making the teeth look longer, so people would think they had become fangs. The same thing would happen to nail beds, so people would think they had become claws. Especially with the decomposition of the body, the person would look plump, or 'well-fed' to someone who didn't know better, and of course, the person would look far more pale because they were dead, so I'm pretty sure that contributed to the myth.
