Parrot Fever Cases
In U. 5. Set Record
BY ,he A,.eeia,ed Pes.

A record number of parrot
fever cases (psittacosis was re.
ported in the United States last
year, the United States Health
Service said yesterday.
1t fixed the figure tentatively
at 445, about as many cases as
have been reported for the seven
preceding years.
Much Of the increase this
year as well as for 1853 is the
result of a large increase In the
psittacine bird population. to-
gether with the discovery that
turkeys were sources Of infection
of many human cases" the sery-
ice said in its weekly disease
summary.
It added that parakeets are
still the principal source Of In
lection in human cases.
The service said the total re-
ported for 1854 indicates that
this disease is still a minor
health problem in comparison
with most other reportable dis
eases.
The service reported that 1854
was the first year since smallpox
was made notiflable that no
verified cases were reported, al
though there were several sus-
pect cases.
Typhoid fever cases last year
totaled 2,276, only slightly below
the 2,294 In 1853. Diptheria
cases, however, ran to only 2.083.
compared with 1892.
Menineoc infections
totaled 4,l05 last year, compared
with 5,o78 in 1858, the first de-
crease in six years.
Polio cases numbered 38,734.
up from 35.953 for 1853. making
1854 the Nations third worst
year for infantile paralysis.
There were 682.984 cases Of
measles, compared with 446,33l
the year before. and 60,972 cases
Of whooping cough, compared
with 36,915.
Five cases Of rabies In man
we're reported In 1854. down
from 13 for 1858.
