Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
It will be seen from Table LIII. as well as from the Table of
the number of disinfections carried out, that the disease was most
prevalent in January, February and March, 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 January 38, in February 55, in March 22, in April 31, in May
seven, in June nine, in July four, in September one, in October
one, in November four, and in December one.
