Leprosy Highly Infectious
Victims Should Be Isolated
By I)R. LEONARD KEENE HIRSHBERG
A. B., M. A., M D. (Johns Hopkins University)
Announcement was m d« officially the ott.er
day at the office of the medical examiner ln New
York city that the death of a 66-ycar-old woman
w a due to chronic diffused leprosy and nephritis.
The diagnosis was made by Dr. Charles 8. B. Ca -
stssa, assistant medical examiner of New York city,
who made the examination. The sad outcome was re-
ported to the police by the family physician of the
woman, and'a report of leprosy was made out which
was confirmed by Dr. Cassnssa.
When a very sensible newspaper man asked the
New Ycrk medical officer whether or not the family
dx hibshbiko physician had violated the law and exposed the public
to this dread plague, he received the same kind of a reply that many health
officers are in the habit of giving to such a question: .
