In 1834, Graves in referring to what he terms " the destructive epidemic of Scarlet Fever " then prevailing in Dublin, goes on to say that in September, October, November and December, 1801, Scarlet Fever committed great ravages in Dublin and 38 continued its destructive progress until the Spring of 1802. Then he says ...

It would seem then, that the behaviour of this disease during recent years is not unlike what has happened in the past, and consequently it would be wise to regard it with suspicion and to be on our guard. From personal observation it appears that the type of Scarlet Fever prevalent in 1932 was less benign than in the ...

Another patient, a child of 18 months, was admitted on the 2nd day of illness, with a heavy rash and severe faucial symptoms. In spite of anti-scarlatinal and anti-streptococcal sera the child died on 15th day of the illness. The third patient, a woman of 33 years, was admitted on the 3rd day of illness with a sharp at...

W. 115 69 110 243 The type of the disease varied in severity and this will be referred to later on, but it is the mildness of many of the cases which is largely responsible for the increased incidence. Diagnosis is difficult in mild cases, many are overlooked and un...

In 1675 Sydenham described Scarlet Fever as "an ailment, we can hardly call it more," and yet in the very year of Sydenham's death it was epidemic in London and became the severe disease of which malignant attacks were recorded. Again, that illustrious teacher Bretonneau taught that Scarlatina, which he had formerly he...

Until the 3rd week she made uneventful progress; purpura haemorhagica then developed and she was freaferred to the London Fever Hospital for blood transfusion and operative treatment.

Dick testing for susceptibility to Scarlet Fever and immunisation against the disease is less commonly used than is Schick testing for Diphtheria, probably owing to the relative mildness of Scarlet Fever. In the hospital, passive immunisation against Scarlet Fever has been of tremendous value in checking the spread of ...

As far as schocts are concerned the efforts to control it are almost useless. Exclusion of cases from the schools after they have become clinically manifest cannot be effective in controlling an outbreak. It has been assumed that the epidemic cycle in Whoopig Cough is due to the fact that there is some cycle of activit...

The Bordet-Gengon bacillus is characterised by a signal absence of toxin formation in culture, and a remarkably low virulence towards laboratory animals. Cultures of the bacillus in strength of billions of bacteria per c.cm. have been injected into small guinea-pigs without producing untoward results. Similarly, in the...

In the early part of the year there was an extensive outbreak of Measles, which comemnced in the southern part of the district but which ultimately spread through all the wards. When the schools re-opened after Christmas several cases of Measles were found to have occurred during the holidays. Although we are not self ...

In other places Measles is an explosive outbreak and then "the town is entirely free of the disease for a year or two and no deaths from Measles appear in their returns. In the autumn, London was almost entirely free from the disease, only one death being usually recorded from the disease, and on three occasions two de...

We were aware of a case in the South West Ward in December, but this child was under school age, and was probably not the source of infection of the school cases. The family came from Scotland, and the child was ill on arrival, so ill that he was confined either to bed or to the house during his stay in the district. O...

Many factors have entered into the causation of this reduced fatality. Part of it is due to the lowered birth rate, though this only explains a small part of the reduced morbidity of Measles.

The incidence declines slowly in the age group 5-10 years, after which the probaof contracting Diphtheria is small. Daring the earlier part of the year, the incidence of the disease conformed with that observed in other parts of the country, but the autumn the course of the disease was abnormal in many respects. Its ag...

The other schools which suffered were the County School Rothschild Road and John Perryn Schools. It is probable that the infection in the John Perryn School was an independent one. The type was not as virulent as that in the other schools, and there did not appear to be in intimate connection between the cases. 8 case ...

In the last few years, the numbers of districts which record rates higher 47 than the average have been increasing, and various factors have been assigned as a cause of this increased virulence. The chief causes are said to be, an increased virulence of the organism, and a lowered communal immunity. The work originatin...

As a result of .this work it was suggested (a) that the gravis type is mainly, or even solely, associated with severe forms of Diphtheria, (b) that the mitis type causes only mild attacks, and (c) that attacks caused by the gravis strains respond less satisfactorily to the ordinary anti-toxin prepared from the Park-Wil...

O'Brien and his co-workers set forth the result of their experience. They stated that there is no satisfactory evidence that the gravest types of Diphtheria are generally associated solely or even mainly with the gravis types of bacillus. If gravis and mitis cultures are injected into groups of guinea pigs the two grou...

It is impossible for the clinicians to adduce evidence which is acceptable to the pure scientist. It is always difficult to attain a reliable history in a large number of cases. This is more particularly true of the mild type of disease and of small children. But in some of these cases, we were satisfied that the histo...

There is always a tendency to blame the therapeutic agent placed in our hands when we are face to face with an outbreak of Diphtheria, but these details are mentioned not with the object of finding fault with the anti-toxin, but to emphasize the difference in the reaction of these cases to treatment as compared with th...

In the present century much attention has been paid to the study of epidemics, and the conditions under which outbreaks of infectious diseases occur, and in order to appreciate the importance of certain procedures which have been adopted to prevent Diphtheria, it is necessary to take a wider view of the subject.

This reaction is characterised by an area of redness about half &n* inch or more around the site of injection. If the person tested is immune or not susceptible to diphtheria, no redness occurs and he is said to be a negative reactor. The next step is the active immunisation of the susceptible persons or the positive r...

Active and prolonged immunity can only be conferred when the cells of the body manufacture anti-toxin, and this form of immunity is produced when a person suffers from the disease. This is the reason why a person rarely suffers more than once from such diseases as Measles, Scarlet Fever, Diphtheria, etc. The patient ta...

It is recognised, though, that if preventive measures are undertaken to stamp out Diphtheria, it is essential that a large proportion of the most susceptible subjectsβ€”children' of pre-school age^should be immunised.

The mothers, on the other hand, have seen for themselves the freedom from pain at the inoculatoin and the subsequent absence of reaction.

The fathers, being at work, would not be so cognisant of these facts and possibly not so appreciative of any new procedure in the prevention of the disease. Naturally, some people confuse immunisation with vaccination against Small-Pox. One parent refused because she said that her neighbour's child had been vaccinated ...
