The diseases treated were: 1,667 Scarlet Fever; 74
Diphtheria; 10 Smallpox; and 4 Typhoid Fever.
During the year 75 cases of Scarlet Fever were removed
into the Infectious Diseases Hospital, and one case into The
London Fever Hospital; 27 cases of Diphtheria were treated
in the Diphtheria block; and seven were removed into
London Hospitals.
The Infectious Hospital is a temporary building comprising
Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria block.
The Diphtheria block affords accommodation for eight
beds, and the block is quite detached and separate from the
old building and Scarlet Fever Wards, but it is linked up with
a covered way.
