later today in the weekly com
municable disease report of the
U. S. Public Health Service.
Natural Decline
Final death statistics will not
be available for some time. But
experts predicted the 40 per cent
decline on the basis of figures
available for the first nine
months of 1955. Deaths for that
period were estimated at 640
compared with 1120 for the same
period in 1954.
Dr. C. C. Dauer, author of the
weekly disease report, said his
"educated guess" is that about
three-fourths of the drop in polio
last year was due to a "natural
decline in the disease."
"Most of the rest was probably
due to vaccinations," he said.
"But there is no way to be sure
because relatively few - persons
were inoculated compared to
the population as a whole."
The case figure for 1955 was
considerably lower than the epi
demic year of 1952 but still
higher than several low postwar
years. Here are the previous
yearly totals:
1947 10,827; 1948 27,726;
1949 42,033; 1950 43,300;
1951 28,386; 1952 57,879;
1953 35,592; 1954 38,476.
Dauer said his guess is that
the ratio between paralytic and
non-paralytic polio in 1955 re
mained about the same as 1954.
A precise breakdown is impossi
ble, he said, because many cases
are not classified.
The figures made public today i
are provisional. Some corrections
us-.ally are necessary and the
final, official tally will not be
issued for months.
