T. B. Deaths In
Alaska Lower
Dr. Charles R. Hayman, acting
commissioner of the Alaska Depart
ment of Health, reports that Alas
kan deaths from tuberculosis
dropped to a new low of 50 last
year, but he says that new cases
of the disease occurred at an aver
age of 80 a month with a total of
955 for the year.
Dr. Hayman said that the 955
new cases found in 1955 mean that
many undiscovered cases still re
main as spreaders of infection and
that these cases must be found *and
hospitalized. Yearly chest x-rays
and tuberculin testing of all resi
dents as well as anti-tuberculosis
vaccinations for infants are re
quired.
Dr. Hayman attributed poverty,
malnutrition, overcrowded living
conditions, lack of sanitation and
hygiene, as well as difficulty and
expense of making yearly x-ray
and tuberculin test surveys in re
mote communities as some causes
for so many new cases.
“Tremendous gains have been
made against Alaska's tuberculosis
scourge,” said the doctor, “and we
are at the point now where the
disease will be under control if we
can hold the line and carry on the
fight for the next few years.”
