Analysing the 20 cases of enteric fever we find that 17 were in Europeans
with 6 deaths. Post-mortem examination was performed on two cases which
supported the diagnosis. The remaining three cases were natives, one of whom
died, and in this case also the diagnosis was verified by an autopsy. The
following table shows the prevalence of this disease among the British troops
in the Presidency command :—
