4G Nouth Carolina Board of Health EPIDEMIOLOGY The section of epidemiology under the Division of County Health Work and Epidemiology has, during the biennium, carried on the usual functions of this service. The usual ofBce routine consists in (1) recording and analyzing the daily reports of communicable diseases sent in by physicians of the State; (2) preparation of various spot maps, charts and graphs to visualize the distribution of these cases over the State and their relation to incidence in former years; (3) preparation of weekly bulletins showing distribution of the nine principal reported diseases in the one hundred counties, which are mailed out to all county health officers and others interested in this reporting; (4) preparation of a monthly analytical report with statement of status of infectious disease incidence for the State as a whole; (5) preparation of a weekly telegram and monthly report for the Surgeon General of the U. S. P. H. S., giving incidence of all reportable diseases; (6) distribution of blank forms, placards and informative literature pertaining to the control of communicable diseases; (7) analysis of reports for age and sex distribution for typhoid fever, pellagra, diphtheria, and scarlet fever; (S) the checking of death certificates for completing case reporting; (9) keeping an investigation record of each case of typhoid fever for the purpose of correlating the incidence of this disease with the sanitary status of the area where it occurs. Special investigations of outbreaks are made by the service when the reports sent in show unusual incidence of disease in any particular area, or when help is asked for the local health officer. During the biennium several such investigations were made. Certain unusual diseases, whose epidemiological characters are not well understood, are also investigated on the appearance of the first case. The epidemiological service has before it the records of case incidence of communicable diseases for the entire State and so is in a key position to estimate the prevalence and to know when this takes epidemic proportions. It can be reemphasized that this judgment is based on reports received, and is liable to grave errors when reporting is too incomplete.
