WHoopING COUGH

"nooplng cough presents most

long drawn out nature of the NAL
ady' the difficulty of diagnosis in the
early period and the fact that ma
lients may continue to spread the
injection for two weeks after the de-
'eiopment of the characteristic
"hoop, makes it a disease requiring
vigilance to control.
Whooping cough is transmitted
IRON one person to another in the
same way as diphtheria, scarlet few.

germ is contained in the secretions

Tor two weeks after the DEVELOPMENT
OF the first symptoms.
me public must recognize that il
IS transmissible before and for some
'lne after the appearance 6 the
characteristic whoop. This disease is
commonly spread by the droplet
method during close conversation or
the act of coughing or sneezing
Dogs and cats have also been known
to act as carriers.
Hpldemlcs of whooping cough pre-
Vail throughout the country in vary
ms degrees f virulence and morta.
w more deaths having been known
70 occur in certain areas during a
speclhed time from this disease than
from measles diphtheria, scarlet
and typhoid fever. Whooping cough
IS more prevalent and more severe in
cold climates. The causative organ
ism is found in the expectoration
which comes from the deeper bron
ch1al tubes during fits of coughing.
Clinical studies of the disease in
dictate that the use of whooping
cough vaccine brings about a more
rapid cure, and alleyiates annoying
symptoms during the course of the
disease. Vomiting is less frequent
and less exhausting, and complica-
lions are of rare occurrece.
Whooping cough should be report
ed, houses placarded and the pa
tient isolated, but this isolation
should not be a strict confinement to
the room. The patient needs air
and should be allowed out of doors,
accompanied by a nurse or someone
who will see that there is no con-
tact with other individuals. This re-
str;ction should continue for two
weeks after the development of the
Whoop, when all infected clothing
and bedding should be thoroughly
boiled, and the bed given a good
summing.
The secretions of the nose and the
mouth during the course of the dis
ease should be promptly collected on
cloths and napkins and boiled or
burned, and eating utensils boiled
after use. The room and furniture
should be given good scrubbing
with hot water and soap, followed
by thorough airing,
