It is of interest to record 1 case of this disease which was
admitted to Hospital, and went through a typical attack, being
again notified as suffering from a fresh attack within 14 days
after discharge; and that in another case a child was notified as
suffering from this disease who had gone through a typical attack
only 16 months previously.
The increased prevalence of Scarlet Fever in London, made
it impossible for the Managers of the Fever Hospitals to admit
all cases for whose admission applications were made, and it
was only with considerable delay that several sufferers from Stoke
Newington gained admittance to Hospital on several occasions.
ERYSIPELAS.
The 49 cases of this disease represent infection in 49 different
premises. In 2 of these, insanitary conditions of a slight nature
existed, and in no case were the sanitary defects grave.
ENTERIC OR TYPHOID FEVER.
The 4 cases notified during the year all occurred in different
houses. In two of these houses slight insanitary conditions
existed. The origin of the infection remained quite obscure in
each case, and in one case the patient had been ailing for several
weeks before he took to his bed and the disease was diagnosed.
