The Incidence of Infectious Disease in Lower Place Nursery Classes.
Towards the end of the Autumn Term there was a small outbreak of Scarlet Fever in the
Nursery Classes. There were 7 cases. The source of the infection was traced to the homes of one
or two of the non-scholars who were relations and contacts of the Nursery School children, and who
were the first sufferers.
The 7 cases were removed to hospital. 4 were mild and uncomplicated, and were only detained
there for 4 weeks. 1, complicated by Otorrhoea, was 6 weeks in hospital, 1, with Rhinitis, 7 weeks,
while another, who unfortunately had a relapse, remained 9 weeks.
Enlarged Tonsils were found in 4 of the cases. 1 has since had them removed, while 2 are
awaiting the operation, which is being postponed by the parents in the case of the 4th.
