The number of new cases detected in 2009- 10 was 15,071 which went up to 15,498 in 2010-11 and 17,892 in 2011-12. According to the state health department's figures, in 2012-13, the number of new patients detected was at a much higher 18,715, which, however, fell to 16,400 in 2013-14. In April 2014, 1,327 new cases were detected.
