Two deaths from Diptheria were registered, both children under 15. Of
the total number of cases 27 (72 per cent.) were removed to Mogden
Hospital.
Typhoid Fever.
15 cases of Enteric were notified, compared to 9 in the previous year,
and 10 in 1902. 5 occurred in the first quarter, all being in March, 1 in the
second, 7 in the third, and two in the last. 5 of the cases were notified from
Heston, 3 from Isleworth, and 6 from the Brentford Infirmary. There were
none in Hounslow. No deaths were caused by this disease.
Puerperal Fever.
5 cases of Puerperal Fever were notified, compared to one only in 1903.
2 of the cases were in Isleworth, and one each in Heston and Hounslow
South. The other one occurred in the Infirmary. Only one death was
registered as being caused by Puerperal Fever, but four other women died
from other direct results of child-birth.
Erysipelas.
Very little importance can be attached to this disease as a guide to the
sanitary condition of any district, but it is one that is notified under the Act.
During the year 23 cases occurred, exactly the same number as during 1903.
Of these, 10 were in the Infirmary. The majority of the cases were in old
people. Erysipelas is seldom a fatal disease, and during the year no death
was recorded as having been caused by it, although in two cases it was given
as a secondary cause.
