[Statistical method of determining distribution of foci in infectious diseases]
Abstract:
Primary infections in organized groups have been found to correspond to the Poisson distribution. This fact is the basis of the statistical method for determination of lhe distribution of foci, the equation is proposed wherein the following data are used: the total number of cases, the total number of organized groups, the number of groups tree of infection, the average size of a group, and the time of observations. The use of foci distribution index for the statistical determination of distribution of foci in varicelfa and parotitis has allowed the author to reveal regularities characteristic of the epidemic process in these infections.
