Typhoid and Paratyphoid Fever.
Paratyphoid Fever was not a notifiable disease in Hong Kong prior to 1914.
During the early years of the Colony many deaths were ascribed to continued fever. This term gradually fell into disuse with more accurate means of diagnosis, but it is probable that many cases of Paratyphoid Fever were notified as Typhoid Fever and that the term Continued Fever covered both these groups.
