In London during 1900 there were registered 361 deaths
out of a total of 13812 cases of scarlet fever notified,
giving a case mortality of 2.6% (uncorrected).
As far as could be traced no scarlatinal milk outbreak
occurred in Lambeth during 1900, and no school had to be
closed on account of an outbreak of scarlet fever amongst the
scholars. It is satisfactory to record that 73.6% of the cases
were removed to the hospital—83.4% from the Inner, and
69.3% from the Outer, Districts. The number of deaths
(20) is very small, giving a death-rate per cases notified of
only 2.4% .
