Dysentery.
The number of cases of dysentery notified was 54, a slight
decrease from the previous year, but the same as the average
number during the past five years. The cases were mainly
quite mild, and were spread fairly evenly over the first three
quarters of the year.
General.
Other cases of infectious disease do not call for any
special comment. The number of cases of individual diseases
notified with figures for the previous four years for
comparison are given in the statistical section.
Tuberculosis.
Cases of tuberculosis are shown in a separate table from
the other notifiable diseases in the statistical section.
The number of cases of non-pulmonary tuberculosis notified
was 10 which is one less than in the previous year, but this is
still one more than the average for the past ten years.
The number of cases of pulmonary tuberculosis notified was
54 (31 male and 23 female), which is the same as for 1961 and
eleven, more than in the previous year.
