Cases of infectious disease were temporarily accommodated at the St. Marie Hospital in the French Concession (by: the courtesy of the Director of the Bureau d'Hygiene et D'Assistance) until August 27, on which date an Infectious Diseases Hospital was opened at the Primary School for Chinese, Sinza Road. This hospital had an accommodation of 200 beds, which was increased to 500 beds by the erection of four matsheds' at the height of the cholera epidemic. The use of these matsheds was gradually discontinued following the opening of additional Isolation Hospital—one at 36 Brenan Road on the September 14, and a supplementary Chinese Isolation Hospital at Pakhoi Road School on September 25. The former, chiefly for foreign cases, had an accommodation of 50 beds, and the latter for Chinese cases, 200 beds.
The Chinese Isolation Hospitals were filled to capacity with cases of cholera, dysentery and typhoid during August, September and October, but as cholera abated diphtheria and scarlatina increased and the onset of an epidemic of measles maintained the high admission rate.
