Notes:

  • (a) A small proportion of cases within each diagnostic category are of unknown age: percentages are calculated from those cases for which age was known, and may not sum to 100 per cent due to rounding.
  • (b) Individuals can have more than one diagnosis.
  • (c) The category "Brucellosis" was added in the SIDAW card in October 1999.
  • " - " means zero or number rounds to zero.
  • (p) Provisional
