CLNG REVEAS | TUBERCULAR ASES Increased Number Thrusts Serious Problem on Welfare Societies, Officials Claim. Discovery of an increasing number of Washington families infected *with | tuberculosts, revealed In the recen:| Early diagnosis campaign conducted b | the Tuberculosis Health Clinic, it was | declared today at the Assoclated Char- | ities, thrusts upon that welfare organi- eation a serious problem. Since the campaign in April, applica- | tions to the Associated Charities for | assistance fvom tubercular parents and | children have increased considerably, according to Miss Louise O. Bell, as-| sistant secretary. | Perhaps one reason for this apparent increase in tubercular cases. Miss Bell | explained, is that a great many per- | sons have asked for the examinatiol iven by the Tuberculosis Health Clinie, lollowing the educational work of the | April campaign. { Entire Families Infected. | Frequently entire families are disco ered to be infected, Miss Bell said, in- | capacitating the breadwinners for work | or necessitating the mothers of small | children being sent away for treat- ment. Such instances usually result in appeals for aid. “In cases of this sort,” said Miss Bell, the Associated Charities renders reliel re it can by providing some one to eare for the small children in the ab- ‘sence ‘'of the mother or in advancing financial relief when the wage earner of the family is temporarily incapaci- tated. A distressing feature of the tuber- cular cases is that. without the co- operation of the patient it is wholly impossible to prevent the infection of others. There is no law in the Dis. trict of Columbia which requires a tubercular patient to be isolated from | others or to go to & hospital or clinic for treatment. As soon as the attention of the as- | b sociation is called to a tubercular fected family, an effort is made to ge them into better housing conditions, with ‘?lenty of sunlight and air and to provide them with proper food, plenty of fresh milk and vegetables. Attend- ance at clinics is also encouraged as much as possible by the workers look- lese cases. Many Refuse to Co-operate. Frequently mothers or fathers can be made to see the necessity of isolat- themselves, particularly in the early stages of a case, but then again, there are many times when they re- fuse to co-operate. Prequently, Miss Bell adds, tubercular children are found sharing beds with mothers or other children not yet in- fected with the diseage. It is a diffi- cult problem to prevent the spread of disease in families of this sort. It is also an added problem to care for chil- dren who have contracted the disease, as only s limited number of patients can be cared for by local hos- gl’uh. The recent aj Congress construction of a hospital for tuber- cular children will assist greatly in the relief of conditions, but unfortunately in- ition made ance to these little children is an im- ‘mediate problem. At t, many ‘cases are being cared for by the asso- ciation by placing small children in pri- vate homes, where they receive special attention.
