1 These data are provisional and
reflect reports received as at 26th June, 2001.
2 The AIDS case data for weeks 1 - 52 of 1999 are from only fifteen CAREC
member countries.
3 Total annual births were used as the denominator for these rate
calculations.
Note: The denominator used for the rate calculation reflects the sum of the
populations of those CMCs reporting that condition.
The data presented in Appendix 1 of this report should be interpreted with
the following in mind:
- Acute Respiratory Infections among children less than five years of age,
are not under surveillance in seven CAREC member countries, namely Aruba,
the Bahamas, Barbados, Cayman Islands, Curaçao & the Netherlands
Antilles, Jamaica and Suriname.
- Data on gastroenteritis from Trinidad and Tobago is not provided in an age
categorized format and have, therefore, been excluded from the age-specific
sub-regional totals. However, 6,170 cases of gastroenteritis were reported
for the period under review.
- No weekly communicable diseases reports were received from Aruba, Guyana
and Curaçao & the Netherlands Antilles during the period under review.
- Data on sexually transmitted infections and syndromes in 2001 are
incomplete at this time, as data was not received from some of the larger
CMCs.
- The data reported on indigenous Malaria for the period under review is an
underestimate as no reports have been received from Guyana.
