SE eS Fae. | { at ™ ~ SPREAD MAINLY BY | PERSONAL CONTACT Special Committee of Physi- * cians Reports on Investiga- tion of 5,496 Cases. The special committees of phystc- fans appointed last summer by May- or Mitchel to aid the Health Depart- ment in fighting the infantile paraly- sis epidemic, made a report to-day ‘on the results of ite research. Anvestigation was financed by the Rockefeller Foundation, A wtudy was made of 5,496 diag- Rosed by the Health Department as Poltomyelitis from July 17 to Sept. 20, This was out of eee. in Co] entire city.

The ' important conclusions are as follows: “Infantile paralysis is communi- cate@ by personal contact. Slight and non-paralytic cases are the most} frequent sources of infection, As these cases arouse no suspicion, others come more in contact with them. The disease usually develops | from three to ten days after exposure. | Previous good health does not give immunity from attack.” Tho points in the report cited as of the most practical importance to parents are these “First: Children who are not iil! should be kept away from others un- til it is definitely cortain that the {Il child has not a communicable dis- ease. “Second: If one’s own child de- Velops suspicious symptoms keep the child away from others until it 1s known he has not a communicable disease. Early diagnosis of suspected cases and prompt isolation of the pa- tient are held to be of the mreatest importance to prevent spread of the disease.” ‘Tho committee finds no substantial evidence tha tinfantile paralysis 1s carried by animals, insects or cloth- ing. Nelthor is there evidence that it was spread through a contaminated source of milk supply or other foods. The committees started work with the belief that many mild cases of paralysis were escaping early detec- tion and constituted a source of in- fection by not being brought under control. It was therefore the com- mittee plan to go to the homes in all cases of infantile paralysis reported to the Medical Director of the De- partment of Health and to visit as well the homes of relatives, friends and acquaintances of the patient to Isarn if other cases of the plague or among them. The tvestigation of the 5,496 cases entailed a total of 71,12 visits by nurses to 63,865 families, while the medical inspectors made: 3,400 other vinits. Tt was learned that males are more susceptible to paralysis than females Of the 5,496 cases studied, 3,070 wore of undiagnosed illness had occurred | each Sunday. terior to see if hi teeth. femelés.
