Table XIX. Form T 145 (G) of the Ministry of Health summarises
the immediate results of treatment of patients discharged
from institutions during the year. From this table it is seen that
among the Pulmonary cases 27.4% were classified as early cases;
the percentage of early cases receiving treatment in institutions
was in women, 10.1%; in men, 12.5%; 46.1% of the total cases
were intermediate cases, the males showing an excess in this group—
24.5% males to 21.6% females—and 26.4% were definitely advanced.
Of the total Pulmonary cases treated in Institutions 76.0% were
Potentially infectious.
112 males, 84 females and 12 children, suffering from Pulmonary
Tuberculosis, were discharged from or died in Institutions
in connection with the Croydon Scheme during 1937.
