(6) Typhoid and Paratyphoid Fevers.
The total cases of these diseases notified in 1928 were made up as follows:
1. Typhoid fever
204
Chinese 207
Non-Chinese 33
2. Paratyphoid fever (specified as such)... 18
Chinese 10
Non-Chinese 8
Total 258
Of these, 41 cases were imported.
From the above figures it will be seen that Non-Chinese Nationalities suffered more in proportion than the Chinese. There is no systematic, prophylactic inoculation but some of the Europeans are done before arrival in the Colony.
