Major Illnesses
Serious infections continued in the
early post-kingdom period, as is
evident in the following chronology,
but with rio reliable, readily
available data on the numbers or
proportions of pure and part-
Hawaiians involved. The population
figures cited above provide only rough
guidelines for such speculative
inferences.
• In 1895, with the oligarchical
Provisional Government
succeeded by the oligarchical
Republic of Hawaii, cholera
swept through Honolulu and
killed 64. 106/
in Hawaii had fallen to 88
per 1,00 0, the rates for pure
Hawaiians remained high at 265
and for part-Hawaiians at 126,
while the rate for whites was
23 per 1,000. 110/
• In 1918-1920, the post-World
War I influenza pandemic
accounted for 1,700 deaths in
Hawaii. 111/ During the war
years, venereal disease became
reportable. 112/
• In 1919, typhoid killed 42.
113/ In this year, the leading
reported "causes of death" were
influenza-pneumonia, tuberculosis,
and diarrheas. 114/
In 1899, the bubonic plague
took 61 lives. With the turn
ot the year, fire to control
the plague-carrying rodents
destroyed Chinatown in Honolulu,
awakening public concern
for the residual "filth,
squalor...homeless, destitute
and incurables," including more
victims with tuberculosis that
for the first time became
reportable. 107/
In 1901, when the Honolulu Home
for the Incurables (forerunner
of Leahi Hospital) opened, 32
of the first 72 patients had
tuberculosis. 108/
In 190 3, when 90 0 known cases
of tuberculosis were identified,
about 32 percent were
native Hawaiians. 109/ From
1900 to 1923, tuberculosis
remained the number one
reported "cause of death," with
mortality as high as 200 per
1,000 population. The corresponding
U.S. mainland tuberculosis
mortality rate was
declining from 152 to 92 per
1,000. By 1937, although TB
mortality rates for all races
• In 1920, leprosy still claimed
662 active hospital cases at
Kalaupapa, with 114 new cases
for the year, the majority
native Hawaiians. 115/ Not
until sulfone chemotherapy in
1946 did the mortality rate
drop from 10 percent to 2.5
percent per year. 116/ By
1974, there were only 13 active
cases of leprosy, but over 100
deformed and disabled mainly
Hawaiians, with the kidney,
nerve, skin, nasal, oral,
facial, and limb complications
of this dreaded disorder. 117/
The 29 new leprosy cases for
that year were chiefly in
immigrant non-Hawaiians. 118/
• In 1928-1929, acute meningitis
accounted for 68 deaths. 119/
• In 1930, for the first time,
heart diseases displaced
infections as the leading
reported "cause of death." 120/
• In 1936-1937, measles deaths
numbered 205. 121/
