Among the total number of females, viz.—318, 17 had parents
alive affected, while 73 had died of Pulmonary Tuberculosis; 341
parents were alive and not affected, while 175 had died, but not of
Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
Of the total of 640 patients male and female, married and unmarried,
32 had parents alive affected, while 119 parents had died
of Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
Taking the column dealing with brothers and sisters, among
males we find 22 had brothers and sisters alive affected, while 70
had died of Pulmonary Tuberculosis; and among females 41 had
brothers or sisters alive affected, while 74 had died of Pulmonary
Tuberculosis, or a total among males and females of 63 who had
brothers or sisters alive affected, while 144 had died of Pulmonary
Tuberculosis.
With regard to the notification of cases of non-pulmonary
Tuberculosis, which came into force on the 1st of February, 1913, in
all 328 cases were notified, 59 from Clapham, 21 from Putney,
75 from Streatham, 56 from Tooting, and 117 from Wandsworth.
11 of these were under one year of age, 57 from one and under
five years, 162 from five and under 15 years, 46 from 15 and under
25 years, 39 from 25 and under 45 years, nine from 45 and under 65
years, and four over 65 years.
Table LXXII. shows the number of these cases notified classified
according to the part of the body affected, as well as the number of
deaths in each class.
The total deaths, viz., 46, do not correspond with the total
number on Table LXIV, as nine cases died in January, when the
disease was not notifiable, six were registered as having died from
Pulmonary Tuberculosis and are included under that heading, while
in the case of five deaths which occurred in Institutions outside the
Borough, no notifications could be obtained.
