Cumulative number of cases of infectious syphilis between January 1 & June 30 2009 and January 1 and June 30 2010 reported by province/territory
Reported annual rates of infectious syphilis (per 100,000) for 2009 and projected rates for 2010 by province/territory
1 The term STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection) is now commonly used in place of STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease). STI is more encompassing, including infections that may be asymptomatic.
2 Data are preliminary and reflective of information available as of September 15, 2010. These data are expected to change with 2010 data expected to change more than 2009 data.
3 Does not distinguish between genital and extra-genital chlamydial infections. Extra-genital infections are not reported by all jurisdictions, therefore comparisons between provinces and territories should be interpreted with caution.
4 Rate (per 100,000) based on all reported cases for 2009. Population estimates provided by Statistics Canada. (Source: Statistics Canada, Demography Division, Demographic Estimates Section, July Population Estimates, 2009 preliminary postcensal estimates).
5 Provincial/territorial rates for 2010 are calculated by projecting the cumulative number of cases reported between January 1 and June 30 and then calculating the rate (per 100,000). For national estimates, the numerator for rate (per 100,000) is calculated based on reported cases for January 1 - June 30, 2010, excluding Nunavut, and the denominator for rate calculations is based on population estimates for all jurisdictions excluding Nunavut. Population estimates provided by Statistics Canada. (Source: Statistics Canada, Demography Division, Demographic Estimates Section, July Population Estimates, 2009 preliminary postcensal estimates). No adjustment has been made for seasonal variability.
6 Infectious syphilis: primary, secondary and early latent stages.
Note: Small variability may exist between data reported by the provinces/territories and the Public Health Agency of Canada. Provincial/territorial data are definitive should a discrepancy exist.
