* Refer to Chapter 3 for case definitions.

† Total cases for 5-year period and average annual rate per 100,000 population.

‡ Hospitalisations for rare diseases such as diphtheria, poliomyelitis and tetanus should be interpreted with extreme caution due to possible coding errors. For NSW, polio, tetanus and diphtheria occurrences are considered inaccurate given no notifications of these diseases have been identified to NSW Health for the period 2001–2002. Caution should be exercised in analysing these data and users should consult the disease notifications as published in the New South Wales Public Health Bulletin.
