Since these patients remained in other wards not subject to the same ward management and with no distinction between those positive and those negative for hemolytic streptococci, they cannot be included in figures to show the incidence of hemolytic streptococci in patients with measles at the time of admission to hospital from the camp. Two classifications of the 37 cases, positive when first observed, are necessary. 1. Division of cases according to days in the hospital before first culture was taken: Days in Hospital No. of cases 0–1 (admission) 15 (2 not acute) 2–7 10 More than 7 12 2. Classification according to stage of the disease: During acute stage 21 cases After acute stage 16 cases The first classification shows only 13 cases positive when cultured on admission to the hospital and also during the acute stage of the disease; the incidence of S. hemolyticus in patients on admission is very low (1.76 per cent).
