An epidemic of paratyphoid B fever occurred in Dundee during the period from 19 February to 19 October 1941. There were 373 notifications and 357 patients were admitted for investigation and treatment to King's Cross (Infectious Diseases) Hospital. Information was also received of the occurrence of eight cases in other areas, and there is evidence that they were infected in Dundee.
