Puerperal Pyrexia. Eighty-four cases were notified during 1952, 82 of which occurred in patients in Kingston Hospital. An analysis is shown below, together with figures for the years 1948 - 1951 for purposes of comparison. Twenty-three of the cases were Kingston residents, and the total which shows an increase of 43 cases over 1951 reflects the effect, as mentioned in my report for 1951, of the Puerperal Pyrexia Regulations, 1951, which modify the definition of the disease, and became operative in August, 1951.
