New Rashes for Old

E.C.H.O. Type 9 Infection in 1960

“…The virus was, moreover, often known to be present in the other members of the family. Further to this, it may be mentioned that Smith et al (1960) reported the-isolation of virus from two of four adults, without rash but with symptoms similar to those in this series, who were examined during an epidemic in the Newcastle upon Tyne area in the autumn of 1960. The epidemic involved a number of children whose illness and rash were essentially the same as described in our preliminary account.…”

“…type 9 infection in Glasgow in 1960 was not an isolated phenomenon, for correspondence- (Parton, 1960;Smith, Bell, Smith, and Bell, 1960) following a preliminary report (Landsman et al, 1960) indicated that similar cases occurred in areas from the South of Scotland to the Midlands of England between July and September.…”
