Poliomyelitis.
During the year one confirmed case of Poliomyelitis (Non-Paralytic)
occurred in the Borough. Notification was received in October.
There were no deaths from this disease.
Six cases were notified in 1953.
The following table gives the age, incidence, etc., of those suffering from
notifiable diseases, excluding Tuberculosis which is dealt with separately.
It must be noted that the figures in the second column "No. removed to
hospital" includes those already under treatment at a hospital, for instance,
the North Middlesex Hospital.
This remark applies more particularly to the infections associated with
parturition and includes puerperal pyrexia and ophthalmia neonatorum.
