British Medical Research Council. Of the 3,000 maternal deaths which occui* in England and Wales each year as a direct consequence of childbirth " it is estimated that .1,200 are due to ffsepsis,” that is‘to say, to blood poisoning and b th er sefious forms of infection. . ” Of these deaths; 000' are attribu table to a particular microbe called the haemolytic streptacaccus,. and it is estimated by Dr. Colebrook that 64 per cent., or 576 deaths, is defin-? itely preventable, together with the non-fatal illness. of over another 2,- 000 women. » . SOURCES OF INFECTION This figure of 64 per" cent, is bas ed upon the research dealt .within the Report, which mainly consisted in. tracking down the actual source of the infection of mothers admitted To hospial. Broadly speaking,' the results go to show that the microbes lurk in- th'e nose and throat of the patient or of those' in contact with the patient and that the identification'of such germs obtained on swabs from the nose-,and throat); with those actually causing the septic condition of the patient can be proved in a.high prb- portion of cases. . ‘ . The 1 technical '. ^difficulties of the work are vei4 great and at times it almost resembles pure '“detective” activity. It was shown, for example, that apart from'microbes in the nose and throat there were other dangers. The ■ sreptococcus responsible foi’ a patient’s illness . was traced once to tlm, ear of a child of the patient,, and on another occasion to the sep,- tic finger of a child of the patient. .- . The microbes were foune • m the nose and throat of doctors and mid wives attending the patient in some, instances, while in others it was. traced., to the handy-womtm, the hus band, child, mother of father of the- patient.
