Information on the nationality of tuberculosis patients is not collected centrally, although information is collected on country of birth. Because of the small numbers of cases reported by most countries of birth for individual boroughs, and the consequent risk of deductive disclosure, the following table provides aggregated data for the London region. Country of birth Number of cases reported in 2005 Afghanistan 53 Albania <10 Algeria <10 Angola 16 Antigua and Barbuda <10 Australia <10 Bahrain <10 Bangladesh 120 Belgium <10 Bolivia <10 Brazil <10 Bulgaria <10 Burundi <10 Cameroon <10 Canada <10 Central Africa <10 China 30 Colombia <10 Congo 39 Cote d'Ivoire 12 Cuba <10 Cyprus <10 Dominica <10 Ecuador <10 Egypt <10 Equatorial Guinea <10 Eritrea 32 Ethiopia 33 France <10 Gabon <10 Gambia <10 Georgia <10 Germany <10 Ghana 40 Greece <10 Grenada <10 Guinea <10 Guyana <10 Hungary <10 India 474 Indonesia <10 Iran, Islamic Republic of 13 Ireland 26 Italy <10 Jamaica 33 Kenya 86 Korea, Democratic People's Republic of <10 Kuwait <10 Lebanon <10 Lesotho <10 Liberia <10 Lithuania <10 Malawi <10 Malaysia 13 Malta <10 Mauritania <10 Mauritius <10 Mexico <10 Mongolia <10 Morocco 12 Mozambique <10 Myanmar <10 Namibia <10 Nepal 21 New Zealand <10 Niger <10 Nigeria 104 Pakistan 221 Palestinian Territory, occupied <10 Peru <10 Philippines 28 Poland <10 Portugal 15 Qatar <10 Romania <10 Russian Federation <10 Rwanda <10 Saudi Arabia <10 Serbia and Montenegro <10 Sierra Leone 32 Singapore <10 Solomon Islands <10 Somalia 404 South Africa 51 Spain <10 Sri Lanka 69 Sudan <10 Swaziland <10 Sweden <10 Tajikistan <10 Tanzania 11 Thailand 11 Togo <10 Trinidad and Tobago <10 Tunisia <10 Turkey 25 Uganda 77 United Kingdom 589 United States <10 Uzbekistan <10 Vietnam 23 West Indies <10 Yemen <10 Zambia 21 Zimbabwe 61 Country of birth not reported 450 Total 3,479 Note: Numbers of cases fewer than 10 are not provided by country of birth because of the risk of deductive disclosure.
