COMMUNICABLE DISEASE CENTER asd 41Jlt m <" :'" .iF " Vol. 14, No. 21 Week Ending May 29, 1965 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE SMALLPOX Washington, D. C. Variola virus has been isolated from vesicular fluid specimens obtained from the presumptive case reported previously (MMWR Vol. 14, No. 20) from Washington, D.C. Laboratory confirmation of smallpox has been made by the Laboratory Branch, at the Communicable Disease Center. This represents the first case of smallpox imported into the United States since 1949. Clinically, the patient has continued to improve. Because a number of skin lesions persist, the patient CO(N T'E T.S Smallpox Washington, D.C. ............... Gastroenteritis Riverside, California .

As shown in the table below, all 118 have been vaccinated. These persons are examined and have temper- atures taken each day. (2) Indirect Contacts This group includes 655 persons. Of these, 651 have been located, vac- cinated and placed under"passive" surveillance. "Passive" surveillance consists of reporting by the contact any symptoms occurring during the 16 days following the last possible date of contact. Those persons not reporting symptoms will be visited at the end of this period to con- firm their well being. (3) Secondary Contacts Included are 246 indi- viduals who have had intimate contact with one of the 118 direct contacts. This group is presumed to be at no risk at the present time; however, there is a remote possibility of indirect contact or fomite transmission from the primary contact. All 246 persons in this group have been vaccinated and placed under "passive" sur- veillance. CONTACTS OF IMPORTED SMALLPOX CASE BY EXPOSURE GROUP Total No..

Of the 6 persons who were never previously vac- cinated, 4 of them are now beyond the 17 day surveillance period. Among the 3 groups of contacts, several persons have developed febrile illnesses; however, there has been no suspected secondary case of smallpox discovered thus far. (Reported by Dr. Murray Grant, Director, D.C. Department of Public Health, Government of the District of Columbia, Washington, D.C., and a team from the Communicable Disease Center.) GASTROENTERITIS Riverside, California A major outbreak of gastroenteritis is currently under investigation in Riverside, California. In excess of 1,000 cases have thus far been recorded. The epidemic began abruptly on May 19 and apparently reached a peak on May 24 and 25. New cases, however, are continuing to occur, a substantial number of which appear to represent secondary cases among close contacts. Since the beginning of the epidemic, cases have been observed in all age groups although children appear to be somewhat more frequently involved and to have more severe symptoms. The epidemic appears to be localized essentially to the city of Riverside. Cases have been recorded in all areas of the city although there appears to be some con- centration in one lower socio-economic area. High rates of absenteeism have been recorded in schools throughout the city. The clinical syndrome consists of fever up to 103, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and diarrhea, fre- quently reported as bloody diarrhea. Of cultures obtained from 100 ill persons, over 50 have thus far been identified (Continue to page 184) 178 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report REPORTED DEATHS IN 122 U.S. CITIES 179 WEEK NO 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40 44 48 52 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40 44 48 53 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40 44 48 52 WK ENDED 26 23 23 20 18 15 13 10 7 5 2 30 28 25 22 21 18 16 13 11 8 5 3 31 28 2 30 27 27 24 22 19 17 14 11 9 6 4 I MONTH J F M A M J J A S N D J F M A M J J A S 0 N D J F M A M J J A S N D J 1963 1964 1965 180 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report Table 3.
