The 14 cases of Pulmonary Tuberculosis and four cases of NonPulmonary
Tuberculosis who died without having been previously
notified, represent 9.7 per cent, of the total Tuberculosis deaths.
Twenty-six deaths were formally notified within one month
of death.
Thirteen deaths were formally notified within three months of
death.
Eighteen deaths were formally notified within six months of
death.
Ninety-eight deaths were formally notified within more than
six months of death.
The total deaths from Tuberculosis numbered 185, 166 of which
were due to Pulmonary and 19 to Non-Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
The mortality rate per 1,000 inhabitants was therefore 0.81.
