Malaria.—Four notifications were received, three from the
Royal Herbert Hospital in connection with military personnel and
one concerned a civilian returning from overseas. Each case was
of the benign tertian type believed to have been contracted
abroad.
Tuberculosis.—During the year 99 notifications in respect of
confirmed casts of tuberculosis were received compared with 106
for 1954. Of these, 91 were of the pulmonary type and 8 nonpulmonary,
i.e., tuberculosis of parts of the body other than the
lungs.
The slight decrease in the figure for the current year appears to
be contrary to the general trend throughout the Country.

Disinfection was offered and carried out in 22 cases including
63 rooms and 485 articles of clothing and bedding, etc.

For further clarification I append herewith copy of Form T.137
(revised) for the year under review as forwarded to the County
Medical Officer of Health.
