Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
It will be seen from Table XLVI. as well as from the Table of
the number of disinfections carried out, that the disease was most
prevalent in November and December, and as in these months the
climatic conditions are such as to favour the occurrence of the more
fatal complications of Measles, the case mortality was in these
months high. In nearly all the cases Bronchitis or Pneumonia
was given as the secondary cause of death.
The number of exclusions in each month was as follows :—
In February two, in April two, in May 16, in June 14, in July 19,
in September 10, in October 18, in November 35, and in December
30. There were no exclusions in the months of January, March
or August.
