There has been, since Christmas, an epidemic of
acute ear conditions coincident with the influenzal
outbreak, and mostly due to a Haemolytic Streptococcal
infection.
Arrangements have been made for keeping under
supervision at the clinic all those cases which had ear
trouble whilst in-patients in the Barking Hospital, thus
enabling any relapse to which such type of patient is
prone to be dealt with at the beginning.
C, R. SANDIFORD, f.r.c.s.,
Ear, Nose and Throat Surgeon.
