Summary of notifiable diseases--United States, 2006 (original) (raw)
Summary of Notifiable Infectious Diseases and Conditions — United States, 2013
MMWR. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, 2015
This site also includes summary publications from previous years. The Highlights section presents noteworthy epidemiologic and prevention information for 2013 for selected infectious diseases and conditions and additional information to aid in the interpretation of surveillance and infectious diseasesand conditions-trend data. Part 1 contains tables showing incidence data for the nationally notifiable infectious diseases and conditions reported during 2013; these tables do not include rows for conditions with zero cases reported in 2013.* The tables provide the number of cases reported to CDC for 2013 and the distribution of cases by month, geographic location, and patients' demographic characteristics (e.g., age, sex, race, and ethnicity). Part 1 also includes a table with the reported incidence of notifiable diseases during 2003-2013 and a table enumerating deaths associated with specified notifiable infectious diseases and conditions reported to CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) during 2005-2011. Part 2 contains graphs and maps that depict summary data for selected notifiable infectious diseases and conditions described in tabular form in Part 1. Historical notifiable disease data, annotated as Part 3 in previous releases of this summary will no longer be included beginning with this report. Historical notifiable disease data during 1944-2012 are available online in previous years' summaries (http:// www.cdc.gov/mmwr/mmwr\_nd). Efforts are underway to post finalized data for years 2004-2012 on CDC WONDER (http://wonder.cdc.gov). The Selected Reading section presents general and disease-specific references for notifiable infectious diseases and conditions. These references provide additional information on surveillance and epidemiologic concerns, diagnostic concerns, and infectious disease-control activities. Comments and suggestions from readers are welcome. To increase the usefulness of future editions, comments regarding the current report and descriptions of how information is or could be used are invited. Comments should be e-mailed to NNDSSweb@cdc.gov with the following subject line: "Annual Summary".

The Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have gained valuable experience in developing a centralized repository of information about reportable conditions across US states and territories. Objective: This study examines the reporting status in states of nationally notifiable conditions used to inform public health and national surveillance initiatives. Design: Conditions included in SRCA are updated annually by using a Web-based tool created by the CSTE. Setting: SRCA information for 2008 was reported from all US states, 2 cities, and 4 territories. Participants: Respondents included state or territorial epidemiologists (or designees) for reporting jurisdictions. Main Outcome Measure: Conditions were classified as explicitly reportable, implicitly reportable, or not reportable. Results were tabulated to determine reporting statistics for the conditions nationwide. Results: The SRCA included 101 conditions recommended for national notification: 93 (92%) were infectious conditions, and 8 (8%) were other (noninfectious or crosscutting) conditions. Of nationally notifiable infectious conditions, 61 (66%) were explicitly reportable in 90% or more jurisdictions; only 2 (25%) noninfectious or crosscutting nationally notifiable conditions were explicitly reportable in 90% or more jurisdictions. Furthermore, 3 nationally notifiable infectious conditions were explicitly reportable in less than 70% of jurisdictions. Conclusions: Although most nationally notifiable conditions were explicitly reportable, we found that many of these conditions have implicit reporting authority in states. As notifiable condition surveillance moves toward an informatics-driven approach, automated electronic case-detection systems will need explicit information about what conditions are reportable. Future work should address the feasibility of standardizing the format of reportable disease lists and nomenclature used to facilitate data aggregation and interpretation across states.
Annual report of the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System
In 1998 there were 85,096 notifications to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System; slightly lower than in 1997 (89,579). The number of measles cases remained low, and well below the number reported in the outbreak years of 1993 and 1994. Rubella notifications further decreased and remained low in 1998. The Measles Control Campaign from August to November 1998, did not impact significantly on the number of measles or rubella cases reported for 1998. Notifications of Haemophilus influenzae type b reached a record low since surveillance began in 1991, and appeared to have stabilised at a low rate since the introduction of the conjugated vaccin e in 1992. The previously reported outbreak of pertussis in 1997 tapered off in early 1998. Food-borne disease, or detection of disease, appeared to be on the rise with an increase in notification rates of campylobacteriosis and salmonellosis. Notifications of hepatitis A decreased, correcting the previous high number of notificatio...

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE NATIONAL NOTIFIABLE DISEASES SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM, 1995
1996
There were 58,074 communicable disease notifications for 1995 to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System. Barmah Forest virus was reported separately for the first time with 756 notifications, including an outbreak on the south coast of New South Wales. There were fewer notifications of Ross River virus infection than in previous years. Notifications of ornithosis increased, reflecting an outbreak in Victoria. Measles notifications decreased significantly following the epidemic years of 1993 and 1994. Pertussis notifications remained high and the rubella notification rate was higher than in any recent year.Haemophilus influenzae type b infection notifications decreased every year since 1991 and reached a rate of 0.4 cases per 100,000 population in 1995. There were also decreases in notifications of Q fever, syphilis and yersiniosis in 1995.

In 2001 there were 104,187 notifications of communicable diseases in Australia reported to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS). The number of notifications in 2001 was an increase of 16 per cent of those reported in 2000 (89,740) and the largest annual total since the NNDSS commenced in 1991. In 2001, nine new diseases were added to the list of diseases reported to NNDSS and four diseases were removed. The new diseases were cryptosporidiosis, laboratory-confirmed influenza, invasive pneumococcal disease, Japanese encephalitis, Kunjin virus infection, Murray Valley encephalitis virus infection, anthrax, Australian bat lyssavirus, and other lyssaviruses (not elsewhere classified). Bloodborne virus infections remained the most frequently notified disease (29,057 reports, 27.9% of total), followed by sexually transmitted infections (27,647, 26.5%), gastrointestinal diseases (26,086, 25%), vaccine preventable diseases (13,030 (12.5%), vectorborne diseases (5,294, 5.1%), other bacterial infections (1,978, 1.9%), zoonotic infections (1,091, 1%) and four cases of quarantinable diseases. In 2001 there were increases in the number of notifications of incident hepatitis C, chlamydial infections, pertussis, Barmah Forest virus infection and ornithosis. There were decreases in the number of notifications of hepatitis A, Haemophilus influenzae type b infections, measles, rubella, Ross River virus infections and brucellosis. This report also summarises data on communicable diseases from other surveillance systems including the Laboratory Virology and Serology Reporting Scheme and sentinel general practitioner schemes.

A study on notifiable diseases reported in a tertiary care hospital
International Journal Of Community Medicine And Public Health
Background: This study was undertaken to analyse the various diseases reported in a teritary care hospital. To find out the most common disease notified. Methods: This is hospital record based retrospective study. The data was collected from notifiable disease register maintained in the Department of Microbiology and also from medical records section of this hospital from August 2013 to December 2016. Results: The total number of cases reported was 1613. Of the 22 diseases listed by the government only seven were more common. Tuberculosis ranks the top followed by HIV-AIDS, malaria, dengue respectively. The disease group commonly affected is 13-59 years (61.5%) with male (63.5%) predominance. Conclusions: To prevent the spread of epidemic, the health care personnel must be adequately trained to identify the disease and notify the higher authorities.

There were 57 infectious diseases notifi able at the national level in Australia in 2002. States and territories reported 100,278 cases of infectious diseases to the National Notifi able Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS), a fall of 4 per cent compared to the number of notifi cations in 2001. In 2002, the most frequently notifi ed diseases were, sexually transmitted infections (31,929 reports, 32% of total notifi cations), gastrointestinal infections (26,708 reports, 27% of total notifi cations) and bloodborne infections (23,741, 24%). There were 11,711 (12% of total) cases of vaccine preventable diseases, 3,052 (3% of total) cases of vectorborne diseases, 1,155 (1% of total) cases of zoonotic infections, two cases of quarantinable diseases (Vibrio cholerae O1) and 1,980 cases of other bacterial diseases, notifi ed to NNDSS. Compared to 2001, notifi cations of sexually transmitted infections increased by 16 per cent and gastrointestinal infections by 2 per cent while bloodborne infections fell by 18 per cent. The number of notifi cations of chlamydial infection and Q fever were the highest since 1991 and 1995 respectively. By contrast, the number of notifi cation for hepatitis A and measles were the lowest since 1991. For other notifi able diseases, the number of notifi cations was within the range of the fi ve years between 1997 and 2002 (range = fi ve-year mean plus or minus two standard deviations). This report also includes 2002 summary data on communicable diseases from other surveillance systems including the Laboratory Virology and Serology Reporting Scheme and sentinel general practitioner schemes.
Infectious Disease Mortality Trends in the United States, 1980-2014
JAMA, 2016
From 1900 through 1996, mortality from infectious diseases declined in the United States, except for a 1918 spike due to the Spanish flu pandemic. 1 Since 1996, major changes in infectious diseases have occurred, such as the introduction of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/AIDS and West Nile virus into the United States, advances in HIV/AIDS treatment, changes in vaccine perceptions, and increased concern over drug-resistant pathogens. We investigated trends in infectious disease mortality from 1980 through 2014 to capture these changes. Methods | Using International Classification of Diseases codes, overall and infectious disease mortality data were extracted, based on underlying causes of death, from the National Office of Vital Statistics reports from 1900 through 1967 and from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) WONDER database from 1968 through 2014. 2 The University of Arizona determined the study was exempt from review. Crude mortality rates for infectious and noninfectious causes (per 100 000 population) from 1900 through 2014 were graphed along with selected infections from 1980 through 2014 based on overall burden (influenza, pneumonia) and emergence or reemergence (HIV/AIDS, vector-borne diseases, vaccine-preventable diseases, drug-resistant pathogens). Vaccine-preventable diseases included those for which vaccines are routinely provided in the United States. Pathogens with drug resistance were identified based on classificac Includes other infectious and parasitic diseases, including inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system, diseases of the ear and mastoid process, acute rheumatic fever, acute and subacute endocarditis, acute upper and lower respiratory tract infections, acute appendicitis, infections of the skin and subcutaneous infections, severe acute respiratory syndrome, and infections specific to the perinatal period.
