SCARLET FEVER.
During 1935 there were 267 cases of scarlet fever notified.
Of the cases notified, 1 was under the age of 1 year, 71 were between the ages of 1 and 5
years, 134 between the ages of 5 and 15 years, 47 between the ages of 15 and 35 years, and 14 over
the age of 35 years.
Of the 267 cases, 241 were removed to Isolation Hospitals. The remaining cases were treated at
home, proper facilities being available for isolation and treatment. No death from this disease
occurred during the year.
The clinical picture of scarlet fever nowadays is totally different from what it was 50 years ago.
It was then a dangerous disease with a high case-mortality. It is now a disease of minor importance
as compared with measles, diphtheria and whooping cough.
