Specific Infectious Diseases.
Pulmonary Tuberculosis remains the most prevalent and facilities for the satisfactory treatment of this disease are sadly lacking. It must, however, be of some encouragement to us that many more cases in the early stage of the disease are reporting in the Out-patient Department for examination.
Ankylostomiasis comes next in frequency. Such cases are from the New Territories and are all in an advanced state of anaemia when they arrive at hospital.
Malaria cases are frequent. They come mostly from Kowloon and neighbourhood but some are from Hong Kong. By far the largest number are the Subtertian type. Two have been of a mixed type and there has been one genuine case of Quartan Infection.
Pneumonia shows great prevalence and the larger proportion is of the Broncho-Pneumonic type in children.
Meningitis. Under this heading there have been many cases of both Tuberculous Meningitis and Cerebro-spinal Meningitis.
