of influenza-like illnes-e- have been received from New

Serological confirmations of influenza A2 infection have
been completed in the former two States but no virus
isolations have yet resulted from laboratory studies.
Generally, the outbreaks have been scattered. whilee at
times insolhing a substantial number of school aged


individuals, there has been little evidence in current
epidemiological comment of spread to adults.
Accounts of the recent experiences in these four
States are printed on pages 26 and 27. Other States in the
Middle Atlantic and New England divisions have not
reported similar findings.

Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report


INFLUENZA State Reports


New Jersey
Focal outbreaks of febrile respiratory disease were
observed among residents of two institutions from ap-
proximatel. middle January: At a State training school
for boys, cases 'with clinical characteristics of influenza
were studied in the State Laboratory. Three of file acute-
convalescent serum pairs demonstrated substantial liter
rises to influenza AV. A similar clinical illness among
some 12-15 percent of patients on t\wo of 13 ward= in a
large psychiatric hospital is currently being investigated
but no laboratory documentation is available preently.
Elsewhere in the State there have been reports of
respiratory illnesses contributing to increased absenteeism
in schools and perhaps industries although this information
has not been full. substantiated on initial survey.

(Reporrtd by Dr. i illiam J. Dougherty, Director, Preve nti..e
Disease Control and Dr. Martin Goldfield. Director,
Laboratories, Neu Jersey State Department ofHealth.)

Connecticut
From middle to late December 1964, moderate amounts
of respirator. illness were noted in eastern Connecticut.
In rrore recent weeks, presumable the same disease has
been responsible for up to 20 percent school absenteeism
in scattered areas over the State. There is little evidence
of progression at the present time.
Diagnostic antibody titer rises to influenza A2 have
recently been described in paired serum specimens sub-


mitted from nine different geographical regions in the
State.

(Reported by Dr. James C. Hart, Director, Preventable
Diseases and Mr. Earle K. Borman, Director, Laboratory
Services, Connecticut State Department of Health.)

Massachusetts
Scattered outbreaks of an influenza-like illness
affecting predominantly school children have been reported
from some six communities in the eastern half of the State
during the past 1-2 weeks. In Clinton, one of the first
towns to be affected, absenteeism in a junior-senior high
school reached nearly 30 percent at its peak. The illness,
characterized bs headache, arthralgias, fever up to 103 ,
cough, and lacrimation has not been reported as affecting
large numbers of adults. Clinical specimens representative
of the major geographical foci are being processed in the
State Virus Laboratory.

(Reported by Dr. Nicholas J. Fiumara, Director, Com-
municable Diseases, lassachusetts Department of
Public Health.)



Pennsylvania
Rapid appearance of febrile respiratory disease in
Allegheny Counti (Southwest Pennsylvania) during recent
weeks resulted in daily school absenteeism rising to 20-40

percent in some instances. The clinical illness is de-
scribed as "influenza-like" although laboratory tests
have not yet demonstrated the etiological agent.
In one large high school, it is estimated that perhaps
one-half of the 2000 students reported respiratory illnesses
during the past week. Noteworthy is the observation


that none of the 60 members of the school's football
squad having received commercial influenza vaccine in
the fall of 1964 was ill during this time.
(Reported by Dr. Edwin Brown, Allegheny Con.'i-y Ep-
idemiologist and EIS Officr,' qlirn' to the County
Health Department.)


ANTIMONY POISONING Virginia


Twenty persons experienced nausea, \omiting, ab-
dominal pain and varying degrees of prostration 15-45
minutes after drinking punch poured from a large gray
"granite" enamelware coffee pot while attending an
annual church-school meeting in a Virginia community.
Cherry juice, powdered citric acid mix, sugar, saccharin,
and lemon juice concentrate were mixed in a 2-gallon gray
enamelware coffee pot, and stored in a refrigerator for
24 hours.


Children attending Bible classes were served cookies
and punch by age groups in the order of Kindergarten,
Primary, Junior and Junior High. The Nursery group was
not served because others were already becoming ill by
the time their turn arrived. Cases occurred as follows
within each group:

* Did not receive punch.


The small quantity of remaining punch, negative for
the ususl bacteriological pathogens, had a pH of 4.6 and
a positive qualitative test for antimony. Simulated punch
made up in the laboratory in the same coffee pot using the


same ingredients and refrigerated for the same length of
time showed a pH of 4.6 and a concentration of antimony
of eleven (11) parts per million or 0.:325 mg per ounce.
The punch was served in 3 oz. cups and most drank onlI
one serving.


Recovery was prompt and uneventful. It is noted that
of the groups who drank the punch, only the first 2 groups
were affected; none of the older children (Junior and
Junior High) were ill and only one of the 11 teachers. In
an effort to explain this phenomenon, consideration was
given to the possibility of armingg concentrations of
antimony at different levels due to settling, However,
samples taken at different levels in the pot of simulated
punch did not show any appreciable variation. V'rginla
State Health authorities postulate that at this low con-
centration of antimony the smaller body weight of the
younger group may have been significant to the development
of disease.


Notably, a similar episode occurred the previous year
during this annual church-school meeting.


(Reported by Dr. J.B. Kenley, Director, Bureau of Epide-
miology, Virginia State Department of Health; Dr. Andrew
F. Scheele, Director, Prince It illiam County Health
Department; Mr. W. French Skinner, Director, Hureiau of
Laboratories, Virginia State Department of Health.)


Editor's Note: Antimony is often contained in the binding :
between the enamel and metal of older utensils, t'itrnc
acid can diss.ol e the binding behind a worn enamel coat,
releasing sufficient antimony to cause toxic symptoms.
