The film aims to present the diagnosis and treatment of this notorious bacterial illness characterized by a feverish flushed face, sore throat and red rash. The illness was prominent in the late 1880's, a widespread pandemic later erupted in the 1920's and it remained prominent well into the 1950's. The discovery of penicillin greatly affected recovery and treatment of Scarlet fever. This feature details the administration of the antitoxin as well as the Dick test. Gladys and George Dick; American bacteriologists, worked to develop a vaccine for scarlet fever in the 1920's resulting in the name; the Dick test. This is the second feature of a three part series. It opens with methods of prevention (:17). Proper technique for the Dick test begins with distilled water (:35). Utensils for the test are soaked (:49) and sanitized over a flame (1:05). A patients arms are wiped with alcohol (1:38). Institutional set up (1:51) shows proper procedure for washing the arms to be tested. The needle and syringe are sanitized (2:37). The pair are married (3:16), following cleansing. This test includes an intradermal injection of 1/10 cc of the skin test solution. The shot is administered (3:45) in both arms for accuracy (4:04). The needle is broken down and cleaned (4:38). A second test is administered (4:54). Throat and nose cultures are collected (5:35) to discern who might be a carrier during the event of an epidemic. A young boy gets a swab up the nostril (5:40). How to read the test is detailed; a red dot appears on the site of injection (6:06). Test results prove negative (6:17). Various results (6:29) are compared. A bruise appears on a right arm while the left shows a negative result (6:52); proving the necessity for testing both arms. Positive results are marked (7:01). A moderately positive result is compared (7:15). An immune carrier case is studied (9:25). A culture collection results in a positive skin test result (10:01). A non-infected individual's case study results in a positive skin test and negative culture (10:19). Footage follows of the test (10:43). Doses are administered weekly. Five syringes and doses (11:09) are pictured. A note compares methods of injection and accuracy (11:25). A close shot shows the skin raising as the dose is administered (11:47). Another case study reveals negative retest results after immunization (12:17). Procedure for how to administer the antitoxin following a 30 mm reading follows (12:50). A red spot is measured (13:08). The doctor presses his thumb into the skin of the patient and the red spot disappears (13:17). Procedure for a 40 mm diameter result is detailed (13:22). A chart (14:07) details the need for active immunization. A study shows results of a test on over 10,000 school children in three different communities (14:53). Concluding notes inform viewers how to administer Dick positive individuals (15:25). The Chicago Technographic Institution seal (16:28) closes the film. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.
