DYSENTERY SCOURGE

Continued from. Page 1.3

The

Cases great majority of diagnosed in Hong Kong as dysen- sery are then not caused by either bacterial or protozoal organisms and therefore are not factors of epidemiological importance.

SHOULD BE NOTIFIABLE DISEASE Because of the number of dix- eases involved and the compara- tive rarity of complete laboratory examinations epidemiologists are of opinion that dysentery should not ordinarily be included in the list of notifiable diseases. It is not a notiable disease under International Sanitary Convention and it is not notifiable in India in Malaya or in Hong Kong.

V

Because the term covers such a Eumber of diseases the nature of which' cannot be determined with out careful laboratory examination enquiry into a "dysentery" epidemic entails much more work of an analytical and deductive

nature

than an enquiry into an epidemic produced by one specific organism such as typhoid or diphtheria. In each case. of dysentery the cause of the symptoms must be ascer- tained after which the cases have to be grouped and finally by a process of analysis and deduction an attempt made to trace the source of infection.

-

The present outbreak com- menced on the 7th or 8th instant. As with most outbreaks there was no reason at the commencement to suppose that it would assume alarming proportions.

SUSPICION AROUSED

No reports having been received from private hospitals or private sources it was not until the 13th that suspicion was aroused that the cases might be due to a common origin. On that date there was a conference In the head office at- tended by the Director of Medical Services, the Deputy Director of Medical Services and the Health Officers and a scheme of enquiry elaborated,

the

The question of notification was discussed and it was decided that no useful purpose would be served by making "dysentery" compul- sorfly notifiable but that Health Officers should approach the private practitioners in an endeavour to ascertain where the cases were occurring and obtain Information with regard to possible sources of infection.

PASTEURISATION

On the 14th, there being some Indication that the Infection causing the outbreak was milk- borne, the various dalties were visited and one, the Dairy Farm, decided to institute pasteurisation. of all milk and Cream before Issuing. The public, were warned. to boil all milk and to refrain from cating raw vegetables or fruits which might possibly; be con- taminated.

Dally conferences took place in the head office where the informa- tion gathered by the various Health Officers was discussed and compared.
