Endemic Typhus

AHNNAhAN sfHN
Endemic or murine typhus 10 .
disease Of rats which constitute
the reservoir of the virus.
But we have in the United
States a disease somewhat similar
10 typhus in Rocky Mountain
spotted fever. In addition TO the
Rocky Mountain form there is
also an Eastern State form.
The virus of spotted fever, like
typhus, remains in an animal res
ervoir. 1t is usually the ground
squirrel or the ground rat in the
western part Of the United States.
From these animals it is conveyed
to the tick when the tick sucks
blood from the animal. Man does
not constitute a necessary link in
the life cycle Of the infection and
man is only accidentally and in
frequently infected with Rocky
Mountain spotted fever.
Protection against both of these
diseases by mass immun.zation IS
possible, but there we're so few
cases of Rocky Mountain spotted
fever reported year that II would
be ridiculous to suggest such i'm
munization under present condi-
tons. However, the death rate OF
Rocky Mountain spotted fever is
quite high: as much as IS per cent
in western Montana, whereas in
other states it is from 10 to 20 per
cent In those occupational groups
whose work exposes them to the
bites Of infected ticks, the use of
vaccine, when perfected, may be
very important.
Report on Rests
The United States Public Health
Service has been using since 1925
a vaccine, and DR.. Parker of that
service has recently reported the
results obtained over a period of
Is years. The vaccine unquestion-
ably gives great protection in the
lowering of the death rate. Among
the laboratory staff of the United
States Public Health Service 70
cases occurred among vaccinated
individuals, with one death, where
as eight cases in unvaccinated in
dividuals were all fatal.
Since both diseases are caused
by the same sort Of organism, it is
natural that some progress has
been made in the mass immuniza-
tons against typtrus fever. We
hope 1t will not be necessary TO
impose this on the population of
the United States at any time in
the near future but it is quite pos
siole that among soldiers going to
European shores it may do them
a great deal Of good.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
L. c. R.:-Can bronchitis be
caused from bad tonsils?
Answer: What is called Chronic
bronchitis" is probably due to an
infection Of the lower part Of the
respiratory tract from a chronic
infection Of the upper part Of the
respiratory tract. that is to say
the nose and throat, but this does
not involve the tonsi!s as much as
it does the nose.

IMPOSSIBLE OUT

labor has taken the word 'impos-

Sometimes management is opposed

But often we. ourselves forget
