asked the Minister for Health if he can give the incidence of Weils disease in Dublin over the past three years.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Incidence of Weils Disease.
13.
The numbers of cases of Weils disease in Dublin in each year since 1966 were as follows:
|
1966 |
— |
4 |
|
1967 |
— |
7 |
|
1968 |
— |
3 |
For the first ten months of this year, four cases have been notified in the Dublin area.
Could the Minister give the dates? In which season did the disease occur?
I have no information on that.
Could the Minister say whether there is any relation between the incidence of this disease and bathing in rat infested waters in the city of Dublin?
That is a separate question.
