REVIEW OF THE MEDICAL WORK PERFORMED.
The most interesting facts in the medical work of the year was the great decrease in the number of malaria admissions (211 as compared with 361 in 1917) and the outbreak of influenza. There were 485 admissions under the heading of influenza and 7 deaths occurred.
The epidemic may be divided into two main periods, viz., June with 269 admissions, and October to November with 130 admissions. The June epidemic was much more serious numerically than the later outbreak but the symptoms of the patients were very much milder. From a comparative study of the epidemics which occurred in Europe and here there can be little doubt that a similar disease was present in each case but that which took place in Hong-kong was of greatly lessened virulence.
