English Translation

About 2 scarlet was present in 21 camps. Of which in most cases only 2 to 3 in a Jager. Only in Bad- Podiebrad are ll and in Bad Teplitz 14 cases of scarlet diseases assigned. In the last week of the division - in locally separated camps - 9 scarlet cases occurred. With the diphtheria diseases it gets similar. We hated diphtheria cases in the last week of December, in 1 7 different camps, including new cases in 5 camps. Se Vttenhofen asked for the maximum number of diseases. In the Schüttenhofen hospital there are 7 hospital patients in diphthria - they come from different camps in Schüttenhofen. In view of the 4age in Schüttenhofen, a full-time doctor was sent to Schüttenhofen on January, who had to recruit a large area and monitor all hygienic medical measures in the camps. The figures given by AL n clearly show that scarlet and diphtheria diseases are not epidemics of these diseases, but rather sporadic cases. At the end of December and the beginning of January, some cases of scarlet fever occurred in newly-occupied KLy camps in Bressnitz. However, a vaccination with the scarlet vaccine " Scarlatox " could be carried out by me to stifle the spread of scarlet in the germ. Infectious patients, i.e. scarlet and diphtheria sufferers, are without exception housed in the hospital or large area. So to prevent contagions by those released from the hospital, a house for scarlet and diphtheria convalescents is set up in Ober- Chernoschitz, in which young people will be accommodated for 14 days to 3 weeks immediately after their release from the clinic. Only then will they be released to their main camp. By these measures we can avoid so-called Heinkehrerfallen. In Ober - Chernoschitz also all the young people who need special protection or recovery were sent. Unfortunately we have four deaths in December and early January to complain. - 3-
