The table below which gives the number of Diphtheria cases notified during each month of the last ten years shows that recently the incidence of the disease has decreased.
Thus while according to census figures our population has increased 37 per cent. during the last ten years, during the last five years the total cases notified were 88.24 per cent. of the number notified in the previous five years.
The table also shows that the disease has its greater incidence in the cooler months of the year namely October to April.
The numbers of Chinese cases each year are shown below the annual total cases.
