Enteric Fever.
During 1925, 9 cases of enteric fever were notified in Battersea.
Of these 3 cases were cancelled, the diagnosis not being confirmed
at hospital. There was 1 death from this cause as against 3 deaths
in 1924.
The source of infection in 2 cases, there was reason to believe,
was traceable to infection while travelling in France and Italy. In
3 cases there was no definite evidence obtainable as to the probable
source of infection.
