Symptoms in 1918 were so unusual that initially influenza was misdiagnosed as dengue, cholera, or typhoid. One observer wrote, One of the most striking of the complications was hemorrhage from mucous membranes, especially from the nose, stomach, and intestine. Bleeding from the ears and petechial hemorrhages in the skin also occurred (Ireland, 1928:57). A German investigator recorded hemorrhages occurring in different parts of the interior of the eye with great frequency (Thomson and Thomson, 1934b). An American pathologist noted: Fifty cases of subconjunctival hemorrhage were counted. Twelve had a true hemotypsis, bright red blood with no admixture of mucus
. Three cases had intestinal hemorrhage (Ireland, 1928:13). The New York City Health Departments chief pathologist said, Cases with intense pain look and act like cases of dengue
hemorrhage from nose or bronchi
paresis or paralysis of either cerebral or spinal origin
impairment of motion may be severe or mild, permanent or temporary
physical and mental depression. Intense and protracted prostration led to hysteria, melancholia, and insanity with suicidal intent (Jordon, 1927:265). http://www.nap.edu/books/0309095042/html/62.html
