Fever was removed to Hospital and both he and the nurse, who
was again swabbed, showed Type 1. The nurse had been instructed
to wear a face mask while on duty and subsequently
consented to tonsillectomy.
On the 28th another case occurred (Type 3) and a child who had
contracted Scarlet Fever in November, 1932, also complained of
sore throat due to Type 3 streptococci.
On February 4th another case occurred and 11 swabs were taken
for examination from the nursing, massage and domestic staff.
The patient yielded Type 3, all the staff being negative except
one, a domestic, who yielded Type 63T. This typing agreed with
one found in a patient in December, 1932.
The two remaining cases occurred on March 6th and 8th, and
both showed haemolytic streptococci of Scarlatinal Type 3.
