c6ec21e0-864f-4fff-b841-d69f1cd63c9d | It is a truism that the better the conditions the less skilled the nursing need be. Under good sanitary conditions, the services of a sensible mother, under medical advice, are usually sufficient. Where the sanitary conditions are unfavourable, frequently a doctor is not in attendance until complications set in, and th... |
c2aedcc8-0694-4a3e-b97b-e2a03ac65646 | The Council has passed a Resolution that cases of measles may be nursed in the Fever Hospital when accommodation is available and when circumstances render it desirable that the patient should be nursed in an institution. Only 3 cases were removed to the hospital. Measles and its complications may be followed by ailmen... |
3fb846e1-a1b4-446e-a300-460a0f0deb20 | Some authorities place measles as the responsible factor in 2 per cent. of the cases of total blindness. In order to ascertain what complications had occurred, all the cases were visited about three months after the end of the epidemic, and the following were the complications disclosed by this inquiry:— Ear discharge ... |
dcf88e74-c3fa-4529-a931-5384fee79e7e | There was a considerable increase in the number of notifications of scarlet fever, but no deaths occurred from the disease. The ages and the Ward distribution are given on Table 9. In the autumn a wave of excessive prevalence passed over London and the extra-metropolitan districts, and it seems that a record number of ... |
dd9d04df-dc67-459c-989b-9f2e600ee91e | In many instances the early symptoms were so evanescent and subsequent desquamation so indistinct that it was almost impossible to say definitely whether the process had taken place or not. Many cases came under my observation where the parents were positive that a rash had not appeared ; at any rate, the rash had not ... |

69e624a0-939c-4583-928a-536c79ca1cb8 | The other symptoms of scarlet fever are present, and I have subsequently seen the doctor in attendance, who informed me that there was a typical rash when he examined the case a few hours previously. In some of the milder cases, I can easily believe that the rash has made its appearance and disappearance within less th... |
f75ded19-e218-4089-8c2f-b35e1a086c96 | It is unfortunate that we have as yet no definite means of determining where the infection of scarlet fever resides, how long it persists, and in what circumstances it can live apart from the human body. There are good clinical grounds for believing that the throat is the primary site of infection, and hence it is reas... |
d586cbef-c451-40d9-94e3-5b0b5b999bad | If we regard the rash as evidence of blood infection, and that the skin is performing its function as an excretory organ in common with the kidneys, there is nothing inherently absurd in the 35 1920 position that the desquamated skin is, or can be, infectious. As a matter of experience the period of six to eight weeks ... |
fda22f7f-1876-43de-8f1a-a1065d02f706 | More unfortunate still is the fact that in a small percentage of cases the infection persists long after desquamation has finished, and these are the ones which give rise to "return cases." The controversy concerning" return cases "which took place some years ago did much good in focussing attention on some of the cond... |
df4b8fc3-938f-4b91-9369-5fa93c6a35b9 | Sometimes a post-nasal catarrh, or an ulceration of the nose or a discharging ear starts after the patient has been discharged from the hospital, and these are the patients which usually give rise to "return cases." Occasionally a "return case" occurs, and no abnormal condition whatsoever exists in the supposed infecti... |
f5cc5ce1-503c-4187-bf74-780b9a461990 | Probably there was no connection between the first and the second case. The first case in the house occurred in May, 1919, and the patient died of the disease. Generally, the degree of infectivity from person to person is of a low order, and cases of the disease usually appear to be isolated or sporadic. Multiple cases... |

Even injections into guinea-pigs does not seem to clear up all th... |
8e6a570a-0a75-4c15-8182-5df766095b2a | The procedure adopted here has been to exclude from school those contacts in which the Klebs Loeffler Bacillus is found in the throat. The children found harbouring the Klebs Loeffler Bacillus in the school belong usually to two categories. In one category are the children where a positive swab is obtained, but no clin... |
58e339f7-2aad-4345-a10c-fee62c84523b | Altogether 76 swabs were taken, and 13 were positive. On enquiry it was elicited that most of these children had suffered from a slight sore throat, so that these children really came under the category of missed or mild cases, and not carrier cases. But the same difficulty confronts us in the treatment of these cases.... |

From enquiries which I have made, the care which we exercise here was not observed in many other districts, and it is not surprising that by an Order dated the 14th March, 1921, the Ministry... |
