control patient gave a history us syphilis for which she had been treated twice. Interval histories were essentially negative. No deaths had occurred in the exposed population, and three

apparently healthy infants had been born in the interim period. Their tn ufero ages at the time
of exposure were approximately 3, 6, and 7 months. Three other pregnancies were noted during
the present examinations, in one of which conception had occurred at about the time of exposure and in the remaining two, 2 to 4 months after exposure.

still at its peak in the exposed group at the completion of this study. The time interval between

the peak incidence of measles in the two populations was probably due to the relative isolation
