J Am Med Assoc, Feb 1918; 70: 481: AN UNUSUAL COMPLICATION OF TYPHOID FEVER. To the Editor: The following case seemed to be of sufficient interest to report: Aug. 10, 1917, a 12 year old boy was brought to St. Joseph's Hospital with typhoid fever. Relatives stated that he had seemed ill for the previous ten days. Sixteen days after entering the hospital, the patient rather abruptly lost the power of speech, although he was able to answer questions by signs. When spoken to he usually began to weep. After ten days the aphasia gradually disappeared, and in two weeks speech was normal. At this time the patient's mother and nurse both noticed that he used his right hand for every purpose, whereas before his illness he had been left handed to an unusual degree. From this time on, convalescence was uneventful. A letter, dated Dec. 26, 1917, reports that to all appearances the boy is right handed, and is now able to use both hands equally well. Roy E. Thomas, M.D., Phoenix, Ariz.
