Worst Tuberculosis Outbreak in
Many Years Hits Jones County as
Nine Are * Hospitalized, This Year
The Jones County Health De
partment reports the worst out
break oi tuberculosis in recent
year* during the four months
of 1957. So far this year nine per
sons have been found suffering
foam the once-dreaded "White
Ftegue".
Hie department, with a collec
tive sigh of jrelief, however, re
ported in a much more happy vein
that all nine of these cases are now
receiving treatment a state
sanatorium; the last of the nine
being admitted, for treatment this
. None of the pine persons detec
ted this year had taken the free
cheat X,-r*y last year when a
snrvey. was made in Jones and
Lenoir counties under direction of
the he#fh department.
Peculiarly, most of the Jones
County cases found this year are
among elderly people. Only one
of the nine is. less than 21 — that
being a IB year-old girl ip a fam
ily of four -which was all found to
he infected.
There was one person 21 •— bro
ther of the 12 year-old girl. The
next youngest person was 34 and
fly with a tdbenehler history on
both sides. The father of this fam
ily had his mother and sister re
leased from treatment less then
a year ago and the mother in this
family is from a family in Which
there were seven TB deaths in a
brief span of years.
Quite different from not-too
mSny-years ago is the waiting
time for hospitalization of a tuber
cular person. Now less than a
week — generally three to four
days is all necessary to make ap
plication and receive admittance
for treatment. Not so many years
back there were many cases that
had to wait for 18 months to two
years for admission.
Health '-Departments Iks '; week
urged dll parents of children under
19 and all expectant mothers to
take advantage of the free im
munization available against in
fantile paralysis. Historically, the
departments remind, polio is worse
in summer than in the colder times
of the year, although it is hot total
ly confined to hot, weather. Now
With free serum available for all
persons under 19 and for all ex
pectant mothers — who seem to
fee slightly more susceptible to
polio — there is no excuse -for any
eligible person coming down with
this crippling and often killing
disease. M people do not wish to
take advantage of the free im
munization in their county health
