In Fiji Now
From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, March 20. 11YPHOID cases are still occurring in the Suva area, and it has been stated that the enteric group of fevers is increasing in incidence in Fiji generally.
The comparatively new disease of para typhoid, unknown here until a year or two ago, is now “being found with dis turbing frequency,” according to an official report.
During the current hot season a new form of dysentery, known as the New castle variety, has been “causing transient havoc.”
Undulant fever is also present, and this has led to support for reported official dis cussions on the feasibility of a milk pasteurisation plant for the Suva area.
