Dysentery in Middlesbrough .
Since Sept. 10, 92 cases of Flexner W dysentery haveoccurred in Middlesbrough. The disease was first confirmed.bacteriologically on Sept. 16, although for some weeks pre.viously there had been cases of severe diarrhoea in the townwhich were ascribed to the consumption of raw fruit. Most ofthe cases of dysentery were in children under five years,although some adolescents and a few adults were affected.There have been 9 deaths, 8 in children under four years andone in a woman of fifty ; these were toxic cases and except inthe woman occurred in poorly nourished infants who werequickly dehydrated and did not respond to sulphaguanidineand the usual restorative measures. Clinically, the cases weretypical with a rise in temperature to 100°-102° F. for severaldays with blood and mucus in the stool.
All confirmed cases were admitted to the isolation hospitaland some 250 other cases of diarrhoea were investigatedbacteriologically. The usual routine investigations were madebut no common source of infection was found. Samples ofwater, milk and ice-cream were examined with negativeresults. It was obvious that spread was occurring frompatient to patient, since in many instances several membersof one family were affected. Isolation of all cases in hospitalresulted in the localisation of the infection and the preventionof further spread. During the week ending Oct. 17, only 7positive cases have been admitted to hospital. The outbreakseems to have been initiated by a small nucleus of infectionoccurring some time during July.
smallpox in Fire
Twenty-one cases of smallpox have been reported from Fifethis month. Five families from Methilhill were involved in thefirst cases : a mother and her four-year-old daughter, both ofwhom have since died, were admitted to hospital on Oct. 7 ; a
father, mother, six-year-old son and five-year-old daughter ; ahusband and wife ; a young woman ; and a six-year-old girlthe following day. Eleven further cases, all contacts of theearlier ones, have been confirmed. It is yet too early to saywhere the outbreak originated or what connexion, if any, ithad with the Glasgow epidemic. The cases were at firstthought to be chickenpox and in view of this the Departmentof Health for Scotland have asked medical practitioners toreport all doubtful cases to their local medical officer ofhealth.
