ABSTRACT
The principal causes of illness and death of microbial origin in Jamaican children were presented. The main aetiological agents responsible for the disease were analysed. It was noted that gastro-intestinal infections were mainly caused by shigella, salmonella, Bact. Coli organisms and that H. Influenza type b, accounted for the majority of cases of bacterial meningitis. Syphilis was found and infections due to kremastos and icterohaemorrhagiae had been found and since 1960 the Gravis type of diphtheria had superseded the intermedius. A detailed discussion of viral and parasitic infections was presented (AU)
