Narrative Report
Wake Co. Health
Dept. For Nov.
The tuberculosis death rate for
all ages ranks seventh among caus
es of death. From Ages twenty to
thirty-five, it ranks first. A few
years ago the tuberculosis death
rate for all ages stood at the head
of the list. Today the colored tu
berculosis death rate is about 2 1-2
times greater than the white tu
berculosis death rate.
It has been known for many
years that cows are susceptible to
tuberculosis and frequently suffer
with the disease. In 1917, Ameri
can veterinarians adopted a policy
of using the tuberculin test, and of
slaughtering all infected cattle to
protect lion-infected members of
the herd. In response to repeated
general application of these mea
sures, the former wide-spread me
nace of tuberculosis has practical
ly disappeared from the United
States. Early routine testing in
this county has revealed only two
reactors in the ten years.
About this time it was recogniz
ed that 3 to 7 per cent of children
had scrofula and tuberculosis of
the bone, which infection was trans
mitted from infected cattle to chil
dren through milk. Tuberculosis of
the bovine type is seldom seen to
day.
If as much stress and scientific
knowledge had been practiced in
controlling tuberculosis in the hu
man race as has been done in con
trolling tuberculosis among cat
tle, we believe that in the fifty five
years which have elapsed since the
bacillus was discovered, the human
race today would be as free of tu
berculosis infection as the dairy
cattle are in this county and the
United States.
The routine necessary to accom
plish this is identical with the one
which has eradicated bovine tuber
culosis. The animals spreading the
disease must be properly disposed
of. The cow to the slaughter house,
and the human being to the sana
torium.
