Measles deaths are reported The death of a Lancaster County infant from “red” mea sles and the unusual suffering of a Greenville County child have prompted the State Board of Health to warn South Caro linians about the dangers of measles. Dr. Donald H. Robinson, chief of the Board's Bureau of Pre ventive Health Services, said that the Lancaster baby, nine months old. was the fourth per son in South Carolina to die from seven to ten-day measles in 1970. After being stricken by measles, the young victim de veloped pneumonia and died ten days later. The Greenville youngster had a case of measles when he was three years old, but seven years later it flared into a dread disease known as Daw son's encephalitis. According to Dr. Robinson, the complication is a rare in flammation of the brain which sometimes occurs five to 14 years after a child has measles. The patient becomes more and more mentally retarded and eventually dies. Health officials estimate that there are about 180,000 children in the Palmetto State who need a measles shot. The immuni zations are available at private doctors’ offices and at county health departments. Only one shot is needed for life-time pro tection. Dr. Robinson said that South Carolinians may be losing the battle against measles. “In 1967 mass immunization campaigns were conducted throughout the state and in 1968 only 31 cases, an all-time low, were recorded. “But more than 600 cases have been reported so far in 1970,” Dr. Robinson added. “The four deaths this year are the most since 1966 when 14 per sons died.” PAULA EARGLE IN "WHO'S WHO" Paula Eargle of Little Moun tain was among the 36 students named to “Who’s Who Among Students in American Univer sities and Colleges” M the Uni versity of South Carolina.
