C.吉莱斯湾婴儿胃肠炎继续引起人们的广泛关注，有关这一主题的论文也已发表了许多。这种疾病的流行率和死亡率往往很高，因此最好进行进一步的调查，以便在可能的情况下确定病因，并制定预防和控制的方法。在此，只要提到一些最近对该病的一般流行病学研究的贡献就足够了，如Payling Wright（1946）和Deeny和奥布莱恩（1946）的研究，以及Orniston（1941）、Bloch（1941）、Brown et al.（1945），Bray（1945），古恩（1945），Gaixtons（1945），Giles and Sangster（1948）.Infantile Mortality in Aberdeen Since infant gastro-肠炎并非须呈报的疾病，一九四七年的发病率与往年比较的唯一依据，是婴儿死亡率和一岁以下儿童因肠炎而死亡的比率。年自1915年以来，苏格兰的婴儿死亡率一直在稳步下降，1946年，阿伯丁的婴儿死亡率与苏格兰其他地区相比有所下降。因此，婴儿死亡率在1915年为140人，1946年为50人，而在同一时期，死于腹泻病的人数从每千名新生儿57人下降到85人;因此，1947年，婴儿总死亡率为64%.，2000名活产婴儿死亡，腹泻死亡率也相应上升，这表明死亡率大幅上升，而这几乎完全是由于肠胃炎流行造成的。
C. GILES, G. SANGSTER, and J. SMITH (From the City Hospital, Aberdeen) Gastro-enteritis in infants continues to attract much attention and numerous papers on this subject are published. The prevalence of this disease and the high mortality often associated with it make it most desirable that further investigations should be undertaken in order, if possible, to determine the etiological cause or causes and to devise methods of prevention and control. It will be, sufficient here to mention a few of the more recent contributions to the study of the general epidemiology of the disease such as those by Payling Wright (1946) and Deeny and O'Brien (1946), and to the records of specific outbreaks by Orniston (1941), Bloch (1941), Brown et al.(1945), Bray (1945), Gunn (1945), Gaixdner (1945), and Giles and Sangster (1948).Infantile Mortality in Aberdeen Since infantile gastro-enteritis is not a notifiable disease the only basis for comparing the disease incidence during 1947 with thatof previous years is provided by the infant mortality rate and the death rate due to diarrhoeal diseases in children under one year. A steady fall in the infant death rate has been apparent in Scotland generally since 1915, and in 1946 Aberdeen's infant mortality compared favourably with that of the rest of Scotland. Thus the infantile mortality rate was 140 in 1915 and 50 in 1946, while the deaths from diarrhoeal diseases dropped during the same period from 57 to 8 5 per 1,000 births; the year 1947, therefore, with its total infant mortality of 64 per 1,000 live births and a corresponding rise in the death rate due to diarrhoea marks a substantial increase which was due almost solely to the epidemic of gastro-enteritis.
