Among the patients of a geriatric hospital, syphilis occurred 120 times, particularly in the late stages and typhoid fever and salmonelloses (chronic carriers) 93 times, in 11 years. Bacterial infections were relatively rare, virus infections on the other hand played a considerable role. Active tuberculosis was only found in 44 of 4219 patients. A previously unrecognized active tuberculosis was found 21 times in 1376 autopsies (0.15%) while in the more complete statistics of autopsies it is found in from 1.85-11%.
