Abstract
In the Medical Record , Dec. 19, 1903, I reported a case of sudden hemiplegia with aphasia occurring during the fourth week of an attack of typhoid fever in a boy aged five years, and I also referred to several other reported cases. Inasmuch as this complication of typhoid fever seems to be a rare one. I have though it worth while to briefly record the clinical notes of a second case which has since come under my observation. Patient. —A married man, aged 38, a bricklayer, habits good, previous history not significant. History. —The patient was in the fourth week of a simple uncomplicated attack of typhoid fever, when on Aug. 9, 1904, he developed the hemiplegia to be described. His physician saw him at 5 p. m. on the date mentioned, and noted nothing unusual. He saw the patient again at 9 p. m.
