CO-EXISTENT DISEASES.
Co-existence of more than one disease in the
same patient at the time of admission to hospital
was observed frequently throughout the year.
Thus there were 12 patients who suffered from
combined Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria ; 2 from
Scarlet Fever and Chicken Pox, and 1 from Diphtheria
and Measles. Amongst these 15 cases there
was 1 death, a case of Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria.
OTHER DISEASES.
Under this heading I refer to the 32 cases out
of the 36 as shown in table No. 8 (the balance of
4 being Scarlet Fever), to 4 cases of Erysipelas
admitted as such, and to 2 other cases, 1 a Small
Pox suspect, and 1 a possible case of Scarlet Fever,
which were also admitted. Amongst the 38 cases 2
died, 1 from Senile Gangrene and 1 from BronchoPneumonia.
