Red Cross Serb Typhus Aid Across Serbia Ends Plague Threat
Doctor Richard P. Strong describes the four month American Red Cross and Rockefeller Institute mission in Serbia that reduced typhus cases from 100000 to around 600 and cut mortality from 70 percent to about 20. The effort included disinfecting cars and houses, hospital sanitation, vaccination work, and the building of 553 plants. The mission reports almost 600000 people reached and vows Serbia will be free of typhus by September and prepared for future outbreaks.
