In London during 1899 there were registered 398 deaths
out of a total of cases 18,112 of scarlet fever notified,
giving a case mortality of 2.2% (uncorrected).
As far as could be traced no scarlatinal milk outbreak
occurred during 1899, and no school had to be closed on
account of an outbreak of scarlet fever amongst the scholars.
It is satisfactory to record that 72.4% of the cases were
removed to the hospital—86.1% from the Inner, and 67.1%
from the Outer, Districts. The number of deaths (25) is
very small, giving a death-rate per cases notified of only
2.5%.
