95e811a9-8602-4c3d-81e6-d7e78188d502 | One matter which has been exercising me, particularly as District School Medical Officer has been the increasing incidence of plantar warts (verrucas) among schoolchildren. Although it is quite obvious that swimming baths are by no means the only way in which verrucas can be spread, it is equally obvious that the wet s... |
dec36c53-506f-403d-942e-7cf410fd8fce | As we are all aware, adhesive plaster has a nasty habit of coming off in water. "We know that these warts can be and are being spread to quite an extent on swimming bath surrounds. The reason is very simple. Swimming bath surrounds are one of the few places where large numbers of children persistently walk for fairly l... |
bcaa955a-7243-4c7a-b59b-7cb8f077fcbd | As you may be aware, I have tried, by articles in the press, by letters to head teachers, by talks to parents, etc., to instil into everyone concerned the vital importance of ensuring that children do not visit swimming baths when they are suffering from a verruca. Unfortunately, in spite of all we have done, some pare... |
fc74843e-e57f-40b4-a6b0-bcf5dd5630eb | Please do not hesitate to exclude any child from the swimming bath when, in your opinion, this could be justified on health grounds. A telephone message to the Public Health Department will then clear the matter up, if any difficulty still remains. "I would assure you that I am always prepared to take responsibility fo... |
d7aad8df-34de-4569-baf9-32187a5579a9 | "It is not really possible to detail all the types of infections or even non-infectious illnesses which may necessitate exclusion. But once again, the Public Health Department will give you advice at any time. In this connection, I was particularly glad to receive an enquiry from an attendant at one of our swimming bat... |
9a70b7c1-fbaa-4b62-8e48-0a23d6545f53 | "While writing, might I mention the annual subject of making quite sure that children do not remain too long in the swimming bath, even when no cases of polio have been reported in the neighbourhood. As you well know exhaustion is one of the most potent factors in turning what might very well be a mild case of polio in... |
754182c7-a7fb-45f6-b331-3207bbb1ba0e | I would be most grateful to have your opinion on the wording, size of notice, position where it should be displayed etc. Please do not hesitate to make any criticisms or suggestions. These I am quite sure, would be really valuable." NOTICE CHILDREN WITH ANY SKIN INFECTION OR WITH A VERRUCA ON THE SOLE OF THE FOOT WILL ... |

0bcad893-49d1-4c24-81d3-ca10d91e870d | The fall in the number of infectious diseases during the year was due almost entirely to the fact that 1959 was not a "measles year". As regards the infectious diseases picture as a whole, I cannot do better than to quote in full the report which I made to the meeting of the Health and Cleansing Committee held on the 2... |

300b94c9-5d11-43ec-9e5c-ca4d55c1383d | Although statistical evidence is not available, 32 I am personally convinced that the campaign for the protection of Wood Green children by inoculation against this disease is having a beneficial effect. "The total number of cases of pneumonia notified during 1959 was slightly higher than those notified during 1958 and... |
216f6762-1123-470a-88da-d558d6b07f55 | As I have remarked before, however, we know that the notifications of food poisoning and dysentery sent to the Public Health Department by no means account for all the cases which occur, "There were seven cases of Poliomyelitis notified during 1959 (4 non-paralytic and 3 paralytic) compared with two cases of paralytic ... |
877ccc04-7fad-4bce-b69e-f7ece4112eb4 | Among the persons affected, those who had had one or two inoculations against poliomyelitis suffered from an extremely mild attack and in every case where injections had been administered, the person suffered from nonparalytic poliomyelitis. "The figures relating to tuberculosis in 1959, although higher than in 1958, a... |
b2d6a606-ab70-4f03-a19d-e27cd5fb3e30 | "in concluding this review of infectious diseases,I should make mention of the immunisation and vaccination programme 33 which the Area Health staff and family doctors carry out in Wood Green. Inoculation against diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus is now available at the two clinics in Wood Green. The use of the new "tr... |
d34755ae-7261-4558-bdeb-2fb401f277c7 | The figures for protection against tetanus are, of course, not yet available. I think it would be fair to say that these figures, although good, still leave much to be desired. "Vaccination against smallpox is also available at both clinics and our latest figures show that 78.7% of children up to the age of two years w... |
0e315144-a48d-4838-b1d3-adb5716115fd | Vaccination against poliomyelitis is available at both Wood Green clinics, whilst special clinics have been arranged on Saturday mornings to cope with young adults up to the age of 26. We know that approximately 90% of children up to the age of 15 were protected against poliomyelitis by vaccination by the end of 1959. ... |
a95af624-095d-44ec-9528-fc036223264c | This includes primary vaccination or immunisation in addition to reinforcing injections given at schools. I think it could be said that we do more in this direction than most other areas in Middlesex. Indeed some of my colleagues seem to think we do too much. None the less, I am firmly convinced that publicity plays a ... |
231e4ca7-e5a6-4b43-ba2e-7feeed5741c1 | We must not, however,allow ourselves to be lulled into any sense of false security by such a happy statement. Only this year, a number of cases of diphtheria occurred in a Borough not many miles from Wood Green. This limited outbreak was particularly interesting from two aspects. In the first place, it was found that t... |
d4dc4ebe-a323-4b75-a76b-a9609ae5d153 | The second lesson to be learnt from this outbreak of diphtheria - and it was not the only outbreak of diphtheria which occurred in England and Wales during 1959 - points to the fact that the organism which causes diphtheria still exists and is quite able to strike. In short although it may be true to state that many re... |

Satisfactory as the infectious diseases picture is, not only in Wood Green but throughout the country as a ... |
baa32b6b-df85-4b0c-8f6b-02edea271d7f | I would merely mention, once again, the anomaly which exists in regard to scarlet fever. As has been said, it is thoroughly illogical that a legal distinction continues to be drawn between a streptococcal infection which includes a rash, i.e. scarlet fever, and a streptococcal infection which does not include a rash. I... |
a38136da-87ee-40a3-91ec-919c12d8405d | The fact that quite a number of especially mild cases of scarlet fever never seem to come to our notice, and the fact that an even greater number of cases of food poisoning and dysentery never even reach the doctor" s surgery does not seem to have made any appreciable impact upon the occurrence or spread of these disea... |
