Non-Notifiable Diseases of Childhood.
Head teachers return a Form M.I. 13 showing children
excluded from school 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 occurring among school children during the year,
the number reported being as follows:—
Chickenpox 525
Conjunctivitis 8
Gastro-enteritis 4
Impetigo 11
Influenza 1
Mumps 161
Ringworm 2
Rubella 21
Scabies 1
These numbers must necessarily be accepted with reserve since
they represent our only available, but not necessarily wholly
accurate, information.
