ANTI-TYPHOID INOCULATION
Dr. A B Wright, Professor of Pathology in the Army Medical School, Netley, publishes in the Lancet this week a note on the result obtained by the anti-typhoid inoculations among the beleagured garrison, both officers and men, at Ladysmith. The following table shows the position:
Not inoculated Inoculated
Number under observation. ------------------ 10,529 1,705
Number cases of enteric fever. -------------- 1,489 35
Proportion in which attacks stand to total
number of men in group. ---------- 1 in 7. 07 1 in 48. 7
Number of deaths from enteric fever. ------- 329 8
Proportion in which deaths stand to total
number of men in group. ---------- 1 in 32 1 in 213
Proportion in which deaths stand to total
number of attacks in group. --------- 1 in 4. 52 1 in 4. 4
Professor Wright points out that the question as to whether the inoculated were more favourably circumstanced in the matter of the situation of their camps than the uninoculated will have to be considered later, but at present no data for the determination of this are forthcoming, and the assumption is that the inoculated and uninoculated were equally exposed to the risk of infection. He reminds his readers that, so far as is known, the men who were set down as inoculated were with hardly an exception only once inoculated, while from facts in his possession he considers that the second inoculation confers considerably increased protection. He also alludes to the possibility that certain of the officers were set down as inoculated who may have been inoculated with anti-typhoid serum and not with the vaccine consisting of the sterilized typhoid culture, while he thinks it likely that revaccination against smallpox, which was in many cases carried out on board the transports, may have been confused with anti-typhoid inoculation. Also, in many so-called inoculated cases the anti-typhoid injection has been, he knows, too small. From all these considerations Professor Wright hopes that the favourable aspect of the table does not exaggerate the benefits that may follow upon anti-typhoid inoculations.
