Excerpt from The British Journal of Children's Diseases, 1912, Vol. 9 Of the 100 cases (fifty-six males with an average age of 8 months, and forty-four females with an average age of months), sixty seven (thirty-six males, average age 7 months, thirty-one females, average age mouths) proved fatal, and thirty-three (twenty males, average age months, thirteen females, average 102 months) recovered. Purpura occurred in eleven (six male, five female) cases, all of which were fatal. Of the sixty-seven cases 164 per cent. Showed purpura. The average age of the eleven cases was 8% months, the extremes being 1 month and 28 months. All but two cases (28 months and 12 months) were under 11 months of age; and, exclusive of the girl aged 28 months, the average age works out at months. None of the purpuric cases showed oedema. Among the 100 cases there was one case with oedema of the hands and feet which recovered; and two fatal cases (without purpura) showed septic rashes.
