Abstract
Case reports of 3108 individuals under 18 years of age are summarized. The male mortality was 13 times as great in the study group as in a population of similar age distribution. The female mortality was lower but the ratio was 17 times that expected in such a group. Those with severe physical involvement had a mortality rate 27 to 30 times that expected in the corresponding age - sex-groups of the general public. Mild physical involvement cases showed a mortality rate 4 to 5 times greater than expected.Keywords
