Summary of Notifiable Diseases, United States, 1994

Foreword MMWR Summary of Notifiable Diseases, United States, 1994

This publication contains summary tables of the official statistics for the reported occurrence of nationally notifiable diseases in the United States for the year 1994. This information is collected and compiled from reports to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS). Because the dates of onset and dates of diagnosis for notifiable diseases are often unknown, these surveillance data are presented by the week that they were reported to public health officials. These data are then finalized and published in the MMWR Summary of Notifiable Diseases, United States, for use by state and local health departments; schools of medicine and public health; communications media; local, state, and federal agencies; and other agencies or persons interested in following the trends of reportable conditions in the United States. Publication of the annual summary also ensures documentation of diseases that are considered national priorities for notification and of the annual number of cases of such diseases.

Part 1 contains information on morbidity for each of the conditions considered nationally notifiable during 1994. In all tables, leprosy is listed as Hansen disease and typhus fever (tick-borne) as Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF). The tables show the number of cases of notifiable diseases reported to CDC for 1994, as well as the distribution of cases by month and geographic location, and by patient's age, race, and ethnicity. The data are final totals as of July 7, 1995, unless otherwise noted.

Part 2 contains graphs and maps depicting summary data for many of the notifiable conditions described in tabular form in Part

Part 3 includes tables showing the number of cases of notifiable diseases reported to CDC and to the National Office of Vital Statistics since 1945. It also includes a table on deaths associated with specified notifiable diseases reported to the National Center for Health Statistics, CDC, for the period 1983-1992. Background

As of January 1, 1994, 49 infectious diseases were designated as notifiable at the national level. A notifiable disease is one for which regular, frequent, and timely information on individual cases is considered necessary for the prevention and control of the disease. This section briefly summarizes the history of national notifiable disease reporting in the United States.

In 1878, Congress authorized the U.S. Marine Hospital Service (the precursor to the Public Health Service, PHS) to collect morbidity reports on cholera, smallpox, plague, and yellow fever from U.S. consuls overseas; this information was to be used for instituting quarantine measures to prevent the introduction and spread of these diseases into the United States. In 1879, a specific Congressional appropriation was made for the collection and publication of reports of these notifiable diseases. The authority for weekly reporting and publication was expanded by Congress in 1893 to include data from states and municipal authorities. To increase the uniformity of the data, Congress enacted a law in 1902 directing the Surgeon General to provide forms for the collection and compilation of data and for the publication of reports at the national level. In 1912, state and territorial health authorities -- in conjunction with PHS -- recommended immediate telegraphic reporting of five infectious diseases and monthly reporting by letter of 10 additional diseases. The first annual summary of The Notifiable Diseases in 1912 included reports of 10 diseases from 19 states, the District of Columbia, and Hawaii. By 1928, all states, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico were participating in national reporting of nearly 30 specified conditions. At their annual meeting in 1950, the State and Territorial Health Officers authorized a conference of state and territorial epidemiologists whose purpose was to determine which diseases should be reported to PHS. CDC assumed responsibility for the collection and publication of data on nationally notifiable diseases in 1961.

The list of nationally notifiable diseases is revised periodically. For example, diseases may be added to the list as new pathogens emerge or deleted as their incidence declines. Public health officials at state health departments and CDC continue to collaborate in determining which diseases should be nationally notifiable; the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE), with CDC input, makes recommendations annually for additions and deletions to the list of nationally notifiable diseases. However, reporting of nationally notifiable diseases to CDC by the states is voluntary. Reporting is currently mandated (by state legislation or regulation) only at the state level. The list of diseases that are considered notifiable, therefore, varies slightly by state. All states generally report the internationally quarantinable diseases (i.e., cholera, plague, and yellow fever) in compliance with the World Health Organization's International Health Regulations. During 1994, 49 infectious diseases were considered notifiable at the national level and were reported to CDC; 41 were reported on a weekly basis, and eight were reported monthly.

CSTE and CDC held a national surveillance conference November 30-December 2, 1994 to review the state of national infectious disease surveillance. Infectious diseases that have been approved for addition to national surveillance during 1995 are Chlamydia trachomatis (genital infections), coccidioidomycosis (for regional surveillance), cryptosporidiosis, hantavirus infection, (post-diarrheal) hemolytic uremic syndrome, pediatric infection with the human immunodeficiency virus, invasive group A streptococcal infections, streptococcal toxic-shock syndrome, and drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. These conditions currently are not reportable in all states, and the mechanism for reporting may not involve clinicians or consist of reports of individual cases (i.e., traditional notification methods). Reports of the number of cases of these conditions will not appear in the current year tables before 1996.

At the 1994 conference the following diseases were also proposed as deletions from the list of infectious diseases under national surveillance: amebiasis, aseptic meningitis, primary encephalitis (except for arboviral encephalitis), postinfectious encephalitis, granuloma inguinale, unspecified hepatitis, leptospirosis, lymphogranuloma venereum, rheumatic fever, and tularemia. These changes were confirmed by a vote of the full membership of CSTE in early 1995. The number of reported cases of these diseases will not appear in the current year tables after 1994.

The list of 49 infectious diseases that were designated as notifiable at the national level during 1994 appears below: AIDS Amebiasis Anthrax Aseptic meningitis * Botulism ** Brucellosis Chancroid ** Cholera Diphtheria Encephalitis, primary * Encephalitis, postinfectious * Escherichia coli O157:H7 ** Gonorrhea Granuloma inguinale * Haemophilus influenzae, invasive Hansen disease (leprosy) Hepatitis A Hepatitis B Hepatitis, non-A, non-B Hepatitis C, unspecified * Legionellosis Leptospirosis * Lyme disease Lymphogranuloma venereum * Malaria Measles Meningococcal disease Mumps Pertussis Plague Poliomyelitis Psittacosis Rabies, animal Rabies, human Rheumatic fever * Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) Rubella Rubella, congenital syndrome Salmonellosis ** Shigellosis ** Syphilis Syphilis, congenital Tetanus Toxic-shock syndrome Trichinosis Tuberculosis Tularemia * Typhoid fever Yellow fever **

  • Deleted from the nationally notifiable disease list in 1995 ** Not published in the weekly tables

Data Sources

Provisional data on the reported occurrence of notifiable diseases are published weekly in MMWR. After each reporting year, staff in state health departments finalize reports of cases for the year with local or county health departments, as well as reconcile the data with reports previously sent to CDC throughout the year; these data are compiled in final form in this summary. Notifiable disease reports (published in the annual MMWR Summary of Notifiable Diseases only after the approval of each state epidemiologist) are the authoritative and archival counts of cases. MMWR Surveillance Summaries or other surveillance reports produced by CDC programs, which are useful for detailed epidemiologic analyses, may not agree exactly with numbers reported in the annual Summary of Notifiable Diseases due to differences in the timing of reports, the source of the data, and the use of different case definitions.

Data in this summary are derived primarily from reports transmitted to the Division of Surveillance and Epidemiology, Epidemiology Program Office, CDC, by the 50 state, two city, and five territorial health departments through the National Electronic Telecommunications System for Surveillance (NETSS). Final data for other diseases are from surveillance program records of the CDC programs listed below; requests for further information regarding these data should be directed to the source specified. National Center for Health Statistics

Division of Viral and Rickettsial Diseases (animal rabies) National Center for Prevention Services

Division of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and HIV Prevention (gonorrhea, syphilis, chancroid, granuloma inguinale, and lymphogranuloma venereum)

Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (tuberculosis) National Immunization Program

Epidemiology and Surveillance Division (poliomyelitis)

Disease totals for the United States, unless otherwise stated, do not include data for American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).

Data on notifiable diseases before 1960 (before CDC assumed responsibility for collection and publication of these data) are obtained from publications of the National Office of Vital Statistics.

Population estimates for states are based on the July 1, 1994, post-censal estimates made by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, Population Division, Population Estimates Branch, Press Release CB94-204.

Population estimates for territories are from the 1990 census, U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, Press Releases CB91-142, 242, 243, 263, and 276.

Rates in the 1994 Summary of Notifiable Diseases were based on data for the U.S. total resident population. However, population data from states in which diseases were not notifiable or disease data were not available were excluded from rate calculations.

Interpreting Data

The data reported in this summary are useful for analyzing disease trends and determining relative disease burdens. However, these data must be interpreted in light of reporting practices. Some diseases that cause severe clinical illness (e.g., plague or rabies), if diagnosed by a clinician, are most likely reported accurately. However, persons who have diseases that are clinically mild and infrequently associated with serious consequences (e.g., salmonellosis) may not even seek medical care from a health-care provider; even if these diseases are diagnosed, they are less likely to be reported. The degree of completeness of reporting also is influenced by the diagnostic facilities available; the control measures in effect; the public awareness of a specific disease; and the interests, resources, and priorities of state and local officials responsible for disease control and public health surveillance. Finally, factors such as changes in the case definitions for public health surveillance, the introduction of new diagnostic tests, or the discovery of new disease entities may cause changes in disease reporting that are independent of the true incidence of disease.

Public health surveillance data are published for selected racial and ethnic population groups because these variables may be risk markers for certain notifiable diseases. Risk markers can identify potential risk factors for investigation in future studies. Data on race and ethnicity also can be useful for identifying groups to target for prevention efforts. Year 2000 objectives for racial and ethnic groups (standardized to the 1940 U.S. population) have been established for several of the notifiable diseases.

HIGHLIGHTS FOR SELECTED INFECTIOUS DISEASES NOT NATIONALLY NOTIFIABLE DURING 1994 Chlamydia

Chlamydia trachomatis infections are common among adolescents and young adults. An estimated 10% of sexually active adolescent females are infected with chlamydia. In 1994, 47 states reported 448,984 chlamydia infections. From 1984 through 1994, reported cases increased from 3.2 cases per 100,000 to 188.4. This trend may reflect increasing recognition and interest among health-care providers and public health officials. Coccidioidomycosis

An outbreak of coccidioidomycosis occurred in Ventura County, California, following the 1994 Northridge earthquake. From January 24 through March 15, 1994, 203 infected persons were identified, compared with 52 cases that were reported through passive surveillance in the county in 1993. The National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID/CDC) Emerging Infections Program (EIP), in collaboration with the State of California Department of Health Services, is conducting active surveillance for coccidioidomycosis in 10 California counties. Cryptosporidiosis

In 1994, waterborne outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis were investigated in Las Vegas, Nevada, Walla Walla, Washington, and Lake Nummy, New Jersey, focusing national attention on the potential for waterborne transmission of Cryptosporidium. In September 1994, a national workshop on waterborne cryptosporidiosis was held at CDC, which resulted in guidelines and recommendations for prevention of cryptosporidiosis in severely immunosuppressed persons, appropriate public health responses to the problem, and epidemiologic and laboratory-based surveillance and research. Hantavirus

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is a recently recognized hantaviral illness caused by Sin Nombre virus and the newly identified Black Creek Canal and Bayou viruses. The identified rodent reservoirs for these viruses -- Peromyscus maniculatus and leucopus (deer and white-footed mice) for Sin Nombre virus and its variants and Sigmodon hispidus (cotton rat) for Black Creek Canal virus -- extend across the continental United States. As of July 20, 1995, national surveillance for HPS has identified 113 confirmed case-patients in 23 states (case fatality rate: 52%); 31 of these cases occurred in 1994. Invasive group A streptococcal infections

Prospective and retrospective active surveillance data for invasive group A streptococcal (GAS) infections were analyzed and several risk groups identified, including: persons who have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), injecting-drug users, persons who have cancer, diabetes mellitus, heart disease or chronic lung disease, alcohol abusers, and children who have varicella. Although different GAS strains have been identified from individual case patients, M-type 1 strains predominated. Drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae

In the United States, the prevalence of drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (DRSP) has increased since 1987 from 3.6% to 14.5%, according to limited voluntary reporting by 12 sentinel hospitals. Limited 1994 surveillance data from these hospitals indicate the proportion of invasive disease (bacteremia and meningitis) caused by penicillin-resistant pneumococci ranges from 3% to 30% and shows widespread geographic variation. Information regarding community-specific DRSP prevalence is needed to assist clinicians in choosing optimal empiric therapy. To enhance efficient and timely reporting, CDC is currently piloting an electronic laboratory-based surveillance system. Vancomycin-resistant enterococci

In 1994, the percentage of nosocomial enterococci reported as resistant to vancomycin increased from 11.5% in 1993 to 13.6% among Intensive Care Unit (ICU) isolates and from 4.9% to 9.1% among noncritical care unit isolates. The increase was more dramatic among isolates from noncritical care units, suggesting that vancomycin-resistant enterococci are spreading from their focus in ICUs. Pneumonia of unknown etiology

From 1979 to 1994, the overall crude death rate for pneumonia and influenza increased 59%, from 20.0 to 31.8 deaths per 100,000. Through 1992 (the most recent year for which complete data are available), pneumonia of unspecified etiology (ICD-9 code 486) accounted for most of the overall increase -- the age-adjusted death rates in this diagnostic category increased 74%. Since the 1970s, several previously unrecognized infectious agents have been identified as causes of lower respiratory infections, including Legionella pneumophila, Chlamydia pneumoniae, and Sin Nombre virus. Recent prospective studies of community-acquired pneumonia indicate that an etiology cannot be identified in up to 50% of cases. Transfusion-associated infectious diseases

An Institute of Medicine committee recently released the report, "HIV and the Blood Supply: An Analysis of Crisis Decisionmaking," calling for the establishment of a surveillance system at CDC to detect, monitor, and warn of adverse effects in the recipients of blood and blood products. CDC is reviewing existing surveillance systems to highlight and address areas that need improvement. Diseases that are being examined to evaluate the level of risk associated with transfusion include HIV/AIDS, Chagas disease, babesiosis, Creutzfeld-Jacob disease, the hepatitis viruses, malaria, and transfusion-associated sepsis. INTERNATIONAL NOTES Dengue

Although dengue fever is not endemic in the United States, its incidence is increasing in most tropical areas throughout the world. In 1994, CDC processed serum samples from 91 residents of 27 states and the District of Columbia who had travelled to countries where dengue is endemic. Among these 91 persons, 37 (40.7%) cases of dengue were diagnosed serologically or virologically. Plague

During September and October 1994, outbreaks of bubonic and pneumonic plague were reported from sites east and north of Bombay, India, respectively. A lack of reliable epidemiologic information contributed to the ensuing international health emergency. Evidence revealed that plague did not occur in international travelers or spread beyond the original foci. Bibliography General Benenson AS. Control of communicable diseases in man. 15th ed.

* AIDS total updated through December 31, 1994.
+ Age data are collected on aggregate forms different from those used for numbers of reported cases. Therefore, total cases reported on this
  table may differ slightly from other tables. Cases among persons ages <9 years are not shown because some of these may not be due to sexual
  transmission; however, they are included in the totals.
