PREVALENCE OF, AND CONTROL OVER, INFECTIOUS
AND OTHER DISEASES.
The number of cases of Scarlet Fever was 190, compared with
161 in 1937:
of Diphtheria 57, as compared with 132;
of Pulmonary Tuberculosis 115, as compared with 99; and
of Pneumonia 98, as compared with 50.
The same methods of control were used as in pievious years,
but it is regretted that the number of immunisations against Diphtheria
was considerably less than last year, as is shown on pages
36-37 of this Report.
One child died of Diphtheria during the year, as compared with
four deaths in 1937.
There was one death (a female aged 32 years) from Scarlet
Fever.
