CHICKEN-POX.
This is the shortest and mildest of eruptive fevers. It is highly contagious, so few children escape who are exposed to it. The disease begins after about fifteen or seventeen days after exposure. As it lasts only one week usually, and never of itself endangers life nor seriously incommodes the patient, it is not necessary to exclude from school any except those actually having the disease.
MEASLES.
This disease is highly contagious, usually through the air, though it may also be communicated by the breath, and has some- times been carried long distances upon articles of clothing and thus given to others. From twelve to fourteen days elapse from the time of exposure to the commencement of the eruption. This eruption usually begins upon the forehead and neck, then the face, and then goes over the body. The fever reaches its height about the sixth or seventh day. The whole course of the disease is about two weeks.
Children who have measles, and those in a family where measles has appeared, should not be allowed to return to school until two weeks after the rash has disappeared.
SCARLET FEVER.
Other common names for this disease are scarlatina, scarlet rash, scarlet fever, and canker rash; but they all mean the same disease.
This is one of the most frequent and fatal of the contagious dis- eases. It occurs most frequently between the ages of three years and ten years. Most adults possess immunity from scarlet fever, although they may not have had it in childhood. This disease usually manifests itself from three to eight days after exposure to it, though it has been known to begin in twenty-four hours. It presents in a marked degree the distinguishing characteristics of the infectious maladies. It is highly contagious. It is disseminated by exposure to patients and may be carried by clothing. The virus of scarlet fever possesses such remarkable vitality that it may remain about a room or be carried by clothing for many months. Therefore, particular care should be taken about disinfecting the
77
rooms in which the patients have been sick with scarlet fever, and all articles of clothing that may, by any possibility, have been exposed to contagion, before children should be allowed to return to school.
As the distance to which the disease is contagious is short, probably not more than two or three yards, it is often possible to limit 'it by isolating the child first attacked and allowing no com- munication with the nurse. In this way the other children often escape. A convalescent child should not be allowed to mingle with other children till three or four weeks have elapsed, and then only when the room where he was sick and all clothing that had been in it or upon him has been thoroughly disinfected. But, if the sick one be properly isolated, or the others of the family be sent immediately to another house to live for the time he is sick, those who are well may, after three or four days, be allowed to return to school.
DIPHTHERIA.
Although the disease has been known to physicians for many centuries, it is only within a comparatively short time that it has been considered to be contagious. It may be imparted to others by a person actually or lately suffering from it. It may also be carried by a person not actually affected by it. The germs of this disease seem to have an especial affinity for the walls of rooms, and may attach themselves to clothing and articles of furniture. They may also enter the system through the air, through the food, and through the drinking water. The disease usually begins in from two to eight days after exposure, but sometimes germs remain about the person for weeks before the complaint makes its appearance. It most often occurs between the ages of one year and fifteen years. In a majority of cases one attack is a protec- tion against future occurrence. As soon as a case of diphtheria occurs in a family, all the children of that family should be at once excluded from the school, and none be allowed to return until two weeks after the membrane has disappeared from the throat, and then only after a through disinfection of the house and the clothing. It is a good plan for those who have been exposed to diphtheria to gargle the throat occasionally with a solution of carbolic acid and lime water, of a strength of twenty drops to the ounce.
