Infantile paralysis cases rise in Billings and NYC
Two additional infantile paralysis cases were found in Billings in areas not previously affected, bringing total cases to six with one of the five earlier reported children dying. The report also notes two apparently related child deaths and new public health measures including excluding young children from street cars and public places. In New York City, Dr Haven Emerson outlined serum therapies using spinal puncture fluid reinjected intramuscularly or subcutaneously, and blood serum from recoveries to boost immunity. The outbreak prompted possible school openings delays, with the board of education and health officials signaling a likely start in October or November.
