Abstract
In this issue, we review the trends in reports of notifiable
diseases among NSW residents received by the NSW public
health units for 2003. Readers interested in the details of
notifications for specific diseases are referred to Tables 1–5
where diseases are reported by: year of onset, month of onset,
rate per 100,000 population, number of cases by area health
service, and number of cases by age group and sex. Table 6
shows the number of people with notifiable conditions who
were reported to have died at the time of follow-up by their
local public health unit.
