This is a residual category that includes infections not included in other categories.
Infections not included are those covered by: Map 28 HIV disease infections, Map 44 Hepatitis, Map 66 Tuberculosis infections, Map 73 Septicaemia and Map 104 Other intestinal infections.
There is an obvious cluster in London, with smaller clusters found in Birmingham and Manchester. This may be linked to recent immigrant populations. Some conditions, such as sarcoidosis, have not been definitely shown to be infectious, as no agent has unambiguously been identified.
This category includes a range of infectious diseases that can cause death. It is evenly split between males and females, although, as the age–sex bar chart shows, the age distributions differ somewhat.
