I now have most of the figures and am just awaiting a few more
assuming that you are after national statistics for the U.S.

I look forward to your confirmation that these figures are for the US
and are "reported cases" rather than "substanciated cases" as there is
quite a difference in the two figures.

I will post the answer over the weekend pending your reply.

Thanks.

This is for United States only.  I would like both sets of statisics
(cases reported and cases verified) If this is actually two questions
I will pay for the second. Thank you! Carol

Hello, the difficulty with obtaining statistics of this type was in
the fact that the tables are blocked together in clumps of years.
Luckily i was able to find the first set all together in a nice neat
little package. The others although from the same site were a little
more difficult to find.

Since National Statistics take a while to sort out i have done 10
years from 1999 –2000.

figures were as accurate as possible.  2002 figures are not available
yet of course.
