Sinopsis

Excerpt from Hints for the Control and Prevention of Infectious Diseases in Camps, Transports, and Hospitals

Spread of scarlatina had been tested in a case of that diseasewhich occurred from exposure of one of the soldiers who visited the infectious quarters of the Massachusetts regiment which we have mentioned. In this instance, the case of scarlatina was removed a short distance from the lines of the encampment the hour that the evidences of his disease appeared, and a rigid domestic quarantine of the sick man and his clothing was established. His nurse was the only other victim of the infection. After a detention of a few weeks, when these four regiments were sent forward to the field, the one last mentioned had its full quota of men; while the three others had only about two-thirds the number of soldiers who, a few weeks previously, had gone into their encampment in full health - except the single company in which the measles first appeared.
