12 NORTHWEST ARKANSAS TIMES, Fayertevllle, Arkansas, Wednesday, April 19, 1961 Raw Water Hazardous Health Officer Recommends Care To Avoid Hepatitis E. Wellington. M.I). (Washington County Medical Director) Viral hepatitis continues a sustained high Incidence nationally, statewide, and locally. Reports through the 14th week of this year ending April 8, 1961, Indicate national incidence of 25,066 cases compared with 10,731 at the same time last year.

For the state, 350 cases compared with 35 last year, and for Washington County, 28 cases, with 110 direct familial contacts, all of whom have obtained gamma globulin upon request of their attending physicians. The principal mode of infection still remains direct contact with a known or unsuspected case of the disease. One exception to this is worth noting. During the i three months of 1961, 73 cases were traced to the consumption of raw oysters obtained from a localized area at the mouth of the Pascagoula River in Mississippi, about one mile below a point at which raw sewage from the i of Pascagoula flowed into the river and thence onward into the Gulf of Mexico. No shellfish from this area were placed on the national markets, the whole area is under surveillance, and the entire oyster fishing area was closed February 18, 1981.

All raw, heavily contaminated water Is extremely hazardous and will remain so throughout the season. Fishermen, swimmers, and others, would bo wise to avoid this potential source of infection. If the disease follows its usual pattern there should be a decline during the summer months with a recurrent upsurge during fall and winter. Since we lack a specific vaccine for protection and specific drugs for treatment, the best protection for the entire community lies in good personal hygiene, both at home and in the schools. Rigid enforcement of all sanitary codes, both slate and local, will be maintained.

Last week (ending April 15) this year's first caso of diphtheria was reported and confirmed in Arkansas. Although it did not oc cur in Washington County, we share in the statewide embarrassment. We know diphtheria toxoid to be one of our most efficient immunizing agents. Like smallpox, Diphtheria can be entirely eliminated if the established methods of immunization are carried out. All parents arc urged to consult with (heir family dnctors with regard for the need of the primary closes for older i I an3 adults.

Since the beginning of the year there have been reports of three widely separated cases of smallpox flown in from India. The first, previously reported, arrived in Madrid in late February. The sec ond in the Ausbach, Bavarian region, West Germany, on March 11, and the third from Delhi, India on April 7. This serves to point up the necessity of conforming with U. S.

regulations for inter national travel, which requires certification of smallpox vaccinations for all travelers leaving the continental U. S. No vaccination is regarded as valid for more than three years. Previous medical history of smallpox is not acceptable. The individual may be vaccinated and the response recorded on the yellow immunization record accompanying the passport.

Yellow fever is currently epidemic in Southwestern Ethiopia down to the borders of Kenya. Unofficial sources the dead at "probably 3,000." Currently, World a Organization teams and U. S. Navy Medical teams are being readied or arc already active in prevention and control measures in the area. It THE WEATHER Elsewhere By THK ASSOCIATED PRESS IHfili Low Pr.
