Excerpt from Report by Dr. J. R. Hutchinson on the Incidence of Scarlet Fever and of Diphtheria in 1922 in the Village of Ramsbury, in the Ramsbury Rural District, County WiltsThis group is divisible into two sub-groups 34 - 5 - 6 and 37 - 8 - 9, separated in point of time by the return from hospital of case 34. All were cases of Scarlet Fever. The first three occurred within a period of approximately one month, while the latter three were notified within three days of each other and within a week of the return from hospital of case 34.It may be argued that the two sub-groups are really one, and that the case 34 did not play the part of infector of the second sub group. The month's interval between the sub-groups, the return home of case 34 in the third week of the interval, the subsequent prompt infection of cases 37, 38 and 39, and the finding of a nasal discharge and of septic foci on the fingers and toes of case 34, serves to confirm the Opinion that cases 37, 38 and 39 were return cases.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
