SCARLET FEVER
The cases certified numbered 213, of which 27 or 12.68 percent, were subsequently
not regarded as scarlet fever. The actual number of cases was accordingly 186,
which gives an attack rate of 2.31 per 1,000 inhabitants.
The age, seasonal and ward distribution of the cases are included in Table No. 27
on page 37. There was one fatal case, a male aged 4 years. The number of cases
and the attack rates in the Borough and wards are given in the subjoined table.
