Extract

The following notes are derived from the case-records of the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast, by kind permission of the medical staff, and are placed before you on the suggestion of Col. Dawson. They are an analysis of a series of 42 cases of encephalitis lethargica treated as in-patients of the Hospital between October 5, 1918, when the first case was admitted, and December 31, 1923. Of these 42 patients, 14 died in hospital, and of 28 who survived 2 died within a year of leaving hospital; 18 replied either in person or by letter to my circular letter of inquiry, and I was unable to trace the remainder.
