A feature in the above cases, grouped and individual, is that
the "contacts," or secondary cases, were in nearly every instance
infected before any notification of illness in the primary cases was
received. In very few instances were there any secondary or "contact"
cases who had become infected after the receipt of the notification
of the primary cases.
