Enteric Fever.
There was only one case of Enteric Fever notified during the
year; no deaths, against six cases with two deaths in 1912.
The case of Enteric Fever was a male patient, aged 39, living
in the Alexandra Park Ward (Victoria Road.)
He was employed as a Commercial Traveller,, travelling on the
Continent, and returned home in December, 1912 from Hamburg,
on account of not feeling well; and early in January the case was
diagnosed.
There is no doubt that the disease was contracted out of England.
There was no history of shell.fish, but the patient had partaken
freely of salads.
A careful inspection of the house failed to reveal any sanitary
defects.
