DISEASE | Remarks |
| |
-------------+--------------------------------------------------+
CHICKENPOX | A mild disease and seldom any after effects. |
-------------+--------------------------------------------------+
DIPHTHERIA | Very dangerous, both during attack and from |
| after effects. When diphtheria occurs in a |
| school all children suffering from sore throat |
| should be excluded and the health officer |
| notified. The medical school inspector or |
| health officer should take cultures from all |
| inflamed throats and noses. There is great |
| variation of type, and mild cases are often |
| not recognized, but are as infectious as |
| severe cases. There is frequently no immunity |
| from further attacks. |
-------------+--------------------------------------------------+
MEASLES | After effects often severe. Period of greatest |
| risk of infection three days, before and after |
| the rash appears. Great variation in type |
| of disease. Dangerous in
