Issues A Worning To

Measles —• the disease said to
spread faster than any other—is
pryamiding in Nassau county and
at the rate cases are being report-ed,
the number this year will top
the all-time high of 6,408 cases, ^n
1941, Dr. Earle O. Brown, cohnty
health commission, said today.
No fatalities have been reported
this year, but Dr. Brown warned
that as the cases increase In num-
; they also* Increase In serious-ness.
^
There were 89 cases In January,
489 in February, and 1,137 In March.
The prospects are that the March
number will be doubled this month,
Dr. Brown said. There have been
two deaths in the state.
He warned that the .disease Is n
.virus infection and that parents
should call the family physician
at the nrst sign of such Illness In
a child. „
Neglect may cause death, he
warned.
"Babies and young children
should be kept away from any
child with a cold, watery eyes or
fever," Dr. Brown warned. "A
child who has watery eyes today
may develop a measles rash to-morrow.
No disease spreads as"
rapidly as measles."
The rash developes about 14 days
from bhe date of -exposure, he said:
The child who has BeenV exposed
usually begins to show onset of the
disease 10 to 11 days after ex-posure.
Adults may contract the disease.
There is only one comfort; once
a person has had measles, .they
become immunized for life and can
never have measles again, Dr.
Brown said. "" "" """'•,
