Figure 10 illustrates, for selected diseases, the November 2000 totals for selected diseases as ratios to the mean of their October to December levels for the previous 5 years. Selected diseases are chosen each calendar month according to current activity 2. Top of page Table 1.
Totals comprise data from all States and Territories.
Cumulative figures are subject to retrospective revision so there may be discrepancies between the number of new notifications and the increment in the cumulative figure from the previous period. Unspecified numbers should be interpreted with some caution as the magnitude may be a reflection of the numbers of tests being carried out. Not reported for NSW because it is only notifiable as 'foodborne disease' or 'gastroenteritis in an institution'. Includes congenital syphilis. NN Not Notifiable.
