Children suffering from ringworm of the scalp which does not
readily respond to local treatment are referred for X-ray treatment
at the London Hospital.
During 1936, 6 patients were referred. The numbers referred
during the previous 5 years were: 1935, 6; 1934, 11; 1933, 4; 1932,
10; and 1931, 14.
The patient is seen at the first visit by the physician in charge
of the skin department. After confirmation of the diagnosis, X-ray
treatment is given. Subsequent visits are paid as and when
necessary.
Cases of scabies not responding to treatment are referred to the
Public Assistance Service for in-patient treatment.
