Table XXII. gives a summary of all the cases of Tuberculosis
notified since 1909. It shows the number of cases reported,
the number who died, removed or recovered, and the number
remaining on the Notification Register at the end of each period,
for both the pulmonary and non-pulmonary forms of the disease.
The figures for the first 20 years, from 1909-1928 are given in
quinquennial periods, while those for the last four years are shown
separately. Patients classified as "recovered" are those who
have shown no evidence of active disease for at least five years.
