* Klebbs Loeffler bacillus found prior to removal.
It is very essential, when a bacteriological examination has been made, that the result
should be notified to the Medical Officers of the Metropolitan Asylums Board, in as much
as, if antiseptics are applied to the throat prior to removal, the bacillus may not be found
when a bacteriological examination is made upon admission to a hospital. Arrangements
have been made with the Metropolitan Asylums Board that where bacteriological examinations
have been carried out the results, instead of being telephoned to the Board's Central
Offices as in the past, shall be intimated to the Medical Superintendents as soon as possible,
either in writing, upon the removal orders, if such orders come through the Public Health
Offices, or by letters as soon as notices of admissions to the hospitals are received at the
Public Health Offices.
