Diphtheria in Immunised Persons.
Two children of 5 and 4 years of age were notified in
December last year. They had been immunised and found to be
negative in December, 1935. On investigation, it was found that
one child was a virulent "carrier" (nasal) and not suffering
from the disease clinically, and the other was not suffering from
diphtheria but scarlet fever.
Measles.
Measles and German measles have been compulsorily notifiable
in Finsbury from 8th January, 1923 (except cases occurring within
two months of any notified case in the same household).
565 cases were notified last year.
