Non-Notifiable Diseases of Childhood.
Head Teachers return a Form M.I. 13 showing children excluded
as suspected contacts or suffering from suspected infectious
disease. This return has proved of considerable value in ascertaining
certain cases which although notifiable had through inadvertance
not come to our notice by more conventional methods. In addition,
this form shows the cases of non-notifiable infectious disease
occuring among school children during the year the number reported
being as follows:—
Chickenpox 348
Conjunctivitis 12
Gastro-enteritis 5
Impetigo 6
Mumps 358
Ringworm 7
Rubella 5
Scabies 6
These numbers must necessarily be accepted with reserve since
they represent our only available, but not necessarily wholly
accurate information.
