摘要据《香港华字日报》报道，1918年6月，香港出现流感大流行，症状大都较轻；11月前后开始的第二波流行，来势较猛。大流感当年在香港造成约3 000人死亡。1920年2月以后，大流感从香港、广东等地消退。《香港华字日报》关于流感的报道，来自官方的消息较少，尤其是流感论治的报道，主要来自医药相关行业。流感期间，《香港华字日报》登载了许多用于防治流感的成药，如屈臣氏大药房的退烧饼和清补丸、诚德堂奋良氏的百胜茶饼和百胜油、辛毓贤堂的百胜茶等。《香港华字日报》有关1918年大流感的报道，对于研究流感在香港、广东等地的流行情况有一定史料价值。

abstractsThe 1918 outbreak of influenza in Hongkong was reported in the Hongkong Chinese Daily (Xiang Gang Hua Zi Ri Bao). It was said that the influenza began in June 1918 with mild symptoms, but spread wildly in November with strong momentum as a second wave. It killed about 3,000 people in Hongkong that year. It subsided in Hongkong, Guangdong and other places after February 1920. The reports and news on the 1918 influenza in the Hongkong Chinese Daily mostly came from medicine-related business rather than official news, in particular, the news of influenza treatment. Many influenza treatments were reported in the newspaper, such as Tui Shao tablets and Qing Bu Wan in Watson's pharmacy, Bai Sheng Tea and Bai Sheng Oil in Cheng De Tang, and Bai Sheng Tea in Xin Yu Xian Tang. The reports and news about the 1918 influenza in the Hongkong Chinese Daily have their historical value for the research of epidemic influenza in Hongkong, Guangdong and other places.
