The reduction in enteric fever prevalence and mortality
during the last few years, to which attention was called in
previous annual reports, was maintained in 1905, both the
case-rate and death-rate being exceptionally low and indeed
almost insignificant when compared with the rates in previous
years.
The death-rate and case-rate in the sub-districts are set out below:—
Case-rate per 1,000 population. | Death-rate per 1,000 population. | |
---|---|---|
East Battersea | 0.16 | 0.04 |
North-West Battersea | 0.18 | 0.04 |
South-West Battersea | 0.11 | 0.01 |
In the County of London the case-rate was 0.33, and the
death-rate 0.05.
