Montalbano Carol M. Knowles Deborah A. Adams Patsy A. Hall Robert F. Fagan Karl A. Brendel Harry R. Holden Gerald F. Jones Division of Public Health Surveillance and Informatics Epidemiology Program Office in collaboration with Willie J. Anderson Office of the Vice President for Health Affairs Emory University Angela Trosclair, M.S. TRW, Inc. Siobhan M. Gilchrist, M.P.H. Klemm Analysis Group Felicia J. Perry MCA Research Corporation Foreword MMWR Summary of Notifiable Diseases, United States, 1996 This publication contains summary tables of the official statistics for the reported occurrence of nationally notifiable diseases in the United States for 1996. These statistics are collected and compiled from reports to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS), which is operated by CDC in collaboration with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE). Because the dates of onset and dates of diagnosis for notifiable diseases may not always be reported, these surveillance data are presented by the week that they were reported to CDC by public health officials in state and territorial health departments. These data are 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 diseases in the United States. The annual publication of the Summary also documents which diseases are considered national priorities for notification and the annual number of cases of such diseases. Part 1 contains information regarding morbidity for each of the diseases considered nationally notifiable during 1996. The tables provide the number of cases of notifiable diseases reported to CDC for 1996, as well as the distribution of cases by month and geographic location, and by patient's age, sex, race, and Hispanic ethnicity. The data are final totals as of July 25, 1997, unless otherwise noted. Because no cases of anthrax were reported in the United States during 1996, this nationally notifiable disease does not appear in the tables in Part 1. Nationally notifiable diseases that are reportable in fewer than 40 states also do not appear in these tables. In all tables, leprosy is listed as Hansen disease, and tick-borne typhus fever is listed as Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF). Part 2 contains graphs and maps. These graphs and maps depict summary data for many of the notifiable diseases that are described in tabular form in Part 1. Part 3 includes tables that list the number of cases of notifiable diseases reported to CDC since 1967. It also includes a table enumerating deaths associated with specified notifiable diseases reported to the National Center for Health Statistics, CDC, during 1986-1995. Background As of January 1, 1996, 52 infectious diseases were designated as notifiable at the national level. A notifiable disease is one for which regular, frequent, and timely information regarding individual cases is considered necessary for the prevention and control of the disease. This section briefly summarizes the history of the reporting of nationally notifiable diseases in the United States. In 1878, Congress authorized the U.S. Marine Hospital Service (i.e., the forerunner of the Public Health Service {PHS}) to collect morbidity reports regarding 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 of these reports 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 the 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 29 specified diseases. 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. In 1961, CDC assumed responsibility for the collection and publication of data concerning nationally notifiable diseases. The list of nationally notifiable diseases is revised periodically. For example, a disease may be added to the list as a new pathogen emerges, or a disease may be deleted as its incidence declines. Public health officials at state health departments and CDC continue to collaborate in determining which diseases should be nationally notifiable; CSTE, with input from CDC, 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 (for a complete list of all nationally reportable infectious diseases and other conditions, see World-Wide Web site http://www.cste.org). Reporting is currently mandated (i.e., 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. The 52 Infectious Diseases That Were Designated as Notifiable at the National Level During 1996 ----------------------------------------------- Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome Anthrax Botulism * Brucellosis Chancroid * Chlamydia trachomatis, genital infection Cholera Coccidioidomycosis * Congenital rubella syndrome Congenital syphilis Cryptosporidiosis Diphtheria Encephalitis, California Encephalitis, eastern equine Encephalitis, St. Louis Encephalitis, western equine Escherichia coli O157:H7 Gonorrhea Haemophilus influenzae, invasive disease Hansen disease (leprosy) Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome Hemolytic uremic syndrome, post-diarrheal Hepatitis A Hepatitis B Hepatitis, C/non-A, non-B HIV infection, pediatric Legionellosis Lyme disease Malaria Measles (Rubeola) Meningococcal disease Mumps Pertussis Plague Poliomyelitis, paralytic Psittacosis Rabies, animal Rabies, human Rocky Mountain spotted fever Rubella Salmonellosis * Shigellosis * Streptococcal disease, invasive, group A Streptococcus pneumoniae, drug-resistant * Streptococcal toxic-shock syndrome Syphilis Tetanus Toxic-shock syndrome Trichinosis Tuberculosis Typhoid fever Yellow fever ----------------------------------------------- NOTE: Although varicella is not a nationally notifiable disease, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists recommends reporting of cases of this disease to CDC.
Data Sources Provisional data concerning 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 that year with local or county health departments and 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 (which are published in the annual MMWR Summary of Notifiable Diseases only after approval by the appropriate epidemiologist from each submitting state or territory) are the authoritative and archival counts of cases. Data published in MMWR Surveillance Summaries or other surveillance reports produced by CDC programs, which are useful for detailed epidemiologic analyses, may not agree exactly with data reported in the annual Summary of Notifiable Diseases because of differences in the timing of reports, the source of the data, and the use of different case definitions. Data in this summary were derived primarily from reports transmitted to the Division of Public Health Surveillance and Informatics, Epidemiology Program Office, CDC, by the 50 state, two city, and five territorial health departments through the National Electronic Telecommunications System for Surveillance (NETSS). (For more information regarding NETSS and notifiable diseases, including case definitions for these conditions, see World-Wide Web site http://www.cy118119.com/epo/phs.htm.) Final data for other diseases are from the surveillance-program records of the following CDC programs (requests for further information regarding these data should be directed to the source specified): National Center for Health Statistics ------------------------------------- Office of Vital and Health Statistics Systems (deaths from selected notifiable diseases) National Center for Infectious Diseases --------------------------------------- Division of Bacterial and Mycotic Diseases (toxic-shock syndrome and laboratory data regarding botulism, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella, and Shigella) Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases (laboratory data regarding arboviral encephalitis) Division of Viral and Rickettsial Diseases (animal rabies) National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP) -------------------------------------------------------- Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention, Surveillance, and Epidemiology (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome {AIDS}) Division of Sexually Transmitted Diseases Prevention (chancroid, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis) 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). Disease totals from American Samoa were unavailable for 1996. Population estimates for states are based on the July 1, 1996, post-censal estimates made by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, Population Division, Population Estimates Branch, PPL-57. Because these estimates are unavailable by age and sex for 1996, rates for reported disease occurrences by age group and among males and females use population totals from the 1995 post-censal estimates. 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 1996 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 less severe diseases are diagnosed, they are less likely to be reported. The degree of completeness of reporting also is influenced by the diagnostic facilities that are available; the control measures that are 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 regarding race and ethnicity also can be useful for identifying groups to target for prevention efforts. However, caution must also be used when drawing conclusions from reported data relating to race and ethnicity. Among persons of certain races and ethnicities, there are likely to be differential patterns of access to health care, interest in seeking health care, and detection of disease that would lead to data that are not representative of disease incidence in these populations. In addition, not all data concerning race and ethnicity are collected uniformly for all diseases. For example, the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention, Surveillance, and Epidemiology and the Division of Sexually Transmitted Diseases Prevention in NCHSTP collect information regarding race and ethnicity using a single variable. A person's racial and ethnic background is reported as either American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian/Pacific Islander, black non-Hispanic, white non-Hispanic, or Hispanic. Additionally, although the recommended standard for classifying a person's race or ethnicity is based on self-reporting, this procedure may not always be followed. Highlights for Selected Infectious Diseases 1996 Arboviral Encephalitis The 1996 national total of 39 laboratory-confirmed California serogroup viral encephalitis cases (all of which were La Crosse encephalitis cases) represents a 95% increase over the 1995 total. This is the largest annual total of such cases reported since 1982. Reports from West Virginia and Ohio account for nearly 100% of the increase. Much of the increase in West Virginia may be attributable to the recent implementation of an active surveillance system for this disease. La Crosse encephalitis is endemic in the eastern United States, where it is associated with exposure to deciduous forests and Aedes triseriatus (the eastern treehole mosquito). Coccidioidomycosis From 1990 through 1995, the number of reported cases of coccidioidomycosis in Arizona increased by 144%. To characterize the trends and impact of coccidioidomycosis in Arizona, the Arizona Department of Health Services analyzed surveillance, death-certificate, and hospital-discharge data. These data indicated that, during 1990-1995, coccidioidomycosis in Arizona disproportionately affected persons aged greater than or equal to 65 years and persons with HIV infection. Cryptosporidiosis National reporting for cryptosporidiosis began in 1995 with 2,972 cases reported from 27 states. In 1996, a total of 2,426 cases were reported from 42 states. Because the diagnosis of cryptosporidiosis often is not considered, and because laboratories do not routinely test for Cryptosporidium infection, cryptosporidiosis continues to be underdiagnosed and underreported. Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a pan-American viral zoonosis caused by Sin Nombre virus and other New World hantaviruses which, in the United States, include Bayou virus, Black Creek Canal virus, and New York-1 virus. The identified rodent reservoirs for Sin Nombre, New York-1, Black Creek Canal, and Bayou viruses are Peromyscus maniculatus (deer mouse), Peromyscus leucopus (white-footed mouse), Sigmodon hispidus (cotton rat), and Oryzomys palustris (rice rat), respectively. Cases of HPS have been identified in the continental United States, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay. As of May 1, 1997, national surveillance for HPS has identified 160 confirmed cases in 26 states (case-fatality rate: 47.5%); 22 of these cases occurred during 1996. Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome In the United States, nearly all cases of post-diarrheal hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) are caused by infection with Escherichia coli O157:H7 or other Shiga toxin-producing organisms. During 1996, the first year of national reporting, 18 states reported 102 cases of post-diarrheal HUS. Median age of patients was 5 years (range: 1-79); 75% of cases occurred from June through October. Hepatitis, viral In 1996, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) issued recommendations for the prevention of hepatitis A through active or passive immunization (MMWR 1996;45{No. RR-15}). The report provides recommendations for use of the recently licensed hepatitis A vaccines (i.e., HAVRIX{Registered}, manufactured by SmithKline Beecham Biologicals, and VAQTA{Registered}, manufactured by Merck & Company, Inc.). For communities with high rates of hepatitis A and periodic outbreaks (peak rates: 700 reported cases per 100,000 population), routine vaccination of children aged 2 years and catch-up vaccination of older children are recommended. To control outbreaks in communities with intermediate rates of hepatitis A (i.e., 50-200 reported cases per 100,000 population), vaccination programs targeting subpopulations with the highest rates of disease may be considered. In these communities, ongoing routine vaccination of young children should be implemented to prevent future outbreaks. HIV Infection in Children and Infants In 1996, a total of 29 states conducted surveillance of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in children. These states reported 249 cases of HIV infection that had not progressed to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and 184 cases of AIDS among children. During 1996, these states received 1,720 additional reports of children who were born to HIV-infected mothers but who require follow up with providers to determine their HIV infection status. Lyme Disease In 1996, a total of 16,455 cases of Lyme disease were reported to CDC by 45 states and the District of Columbia (overall incidence: 6.2 per 100,000 population), representing a 41% increase from the 11,700 cases reported in 1995 and a 26% increase from the 13,043 cases reported in 1994. As in previous years, most cases were reported from the mid-Atlantic, northeast, and north-central regions. Eight states reported Lyme disease incidences that were higher than the overall national rate (Connecticut, 94.8; Rhode Island, 53.9; New York, 29.2; New Jersey, 27.4; Delaware, 23.9; Pennsylvania, 23.3; Maryland, 8.8; and Wisconsin, 7.7); these states accounted for 14,959 (91%) of the nationally reported cases. In 1996, zero cases were reported from five states (i.e., Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Montana, and South Dakota). The increase in reported Lyme disease cases in 1996 probably represents a combination of increased tick density in the northeastern United States, enhanced health-care provider awareness and reporting, and improved laboratory surveillance. In addition, case reporting has been enhanced through the availability of CDC resources for Lyme disease surveillance in eight states (i.e., Connecticut, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, and West Virginia). Plague In 1996, five cases of plague among humans, two of which were fatal, were reported in the United States (two cases in Arizona, one in Colorado, and two in New Mexico). Both decedents had septicemic plague that was not diagnosed until after they died. One of the persons who died was infected through bites by infective prairie dog fleas; the other was infected by exposure to a pet cat with plague. These cases underscore the need for health-care providers in areas with endemic plague to maintain a high level of awareness about the risk for plague in their patients. Revised recommendations for the use of plague vaccine have been approved by ACIP and published in MMWR (1996;45{No. RR-14}). During 1970-1995, a total of 341 cases of human plague (average: 13 cases per year) were reported in the United States. Of these cases, 80% occurred in the southwestern states of New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado, 9% were reported from California, and nine other western states reported limited numbers of cases. Most likely modes of transmission were determined for 286 of these cases and included flea bite (n=223; 78%), direct contact with infected animals (n=56; 20%), and inhalation of respiratory droplets from infected animals (n=7; 2%). Five of the seven persons infected by inhalation were known to be exposed to infected domestic cats. The overall mortality was 15%. Yellow Fever In July 1996, a 45-year-old resident of Tennessee planning a trip to Brazil elected not to drive to a nearby city for a recommended immunization with yellow fever (YF) vaccine at a World Health Organization designated Yellow Fever Vaccine Administration Center. After a 9-day fishing trip on the Amazon and Rio Negro rivers, he returned to Tennessee where he soon developed symptoms of fever, chills, headache, joint pains, and myalgias. His condition deteriorated further with development of a coagulopathy, bleeding from multiple sites, and shock. He died on the 6th day of hospitalization. YF virus was isolated from premortem serum specimens and was identified both by polymerase chain reaction and conventional virologic methods. This case was the first recognized and documented importation of YF into the United States since 1924. Non-Notifiable Diseases, 1996 Cyclospora In the spring and early summer of 1996, the largest reported outbreak of cyclosporiasis occurred in North America. A total of 1,465 cases were reported by 20 states and the District of Columbia in the United States and by two provinces in Canada. Of these cases, 725 (49.5%) were associated with 55 events (e.g., luncheons) and the other 740 (50.5%) were sporadic. Consumption of fresh raspberries from Guatemala was associated with illness. Dengue Forty-four laboratory-confirmed cases of dengue were imported into the United States in 1996 and diagnosed at the CDC Dengue Branch. This number is a decrease from the unusually substantial number of cases reported in 1995 (i.e., 86 cases), which was associated with the occurrence of major outbreaks of dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) in most tropical countries of the Americas. However, the total number of dengue and DHF cases reported by Pan American Health Organization member countries in 1996 (n=250,707) was only slightly lower than the total for 1995 (n=284,483). Most countries in the region, especially Central America and the Caribbean islands, reported a substantially lower incidence of dengue in 1996, but major increases were noted in Brazil (with 175,751 cases reported), Mexico (20,687 cases), and Trinidad and Tobago (3,983 cases). Nosocomial enterococci In the early 1990s, the percentage of nosocomial enterococci reported from intensive care units (ICUs) as being resistant to vancomycin substantially increased, from 7.1% in 1992 to 11.6% in 1993 and 13.8% in 1994; the increase leveled off in 1995 (12.8%) but has continued its increase in 1996 (16.7%). Data from the hospital-based National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System also indicate that for isolates from outside ICUs, the percentage of resistant enterococci has continued to rise (i.e., from 2.8% in 1992 to 4.8% in 1993 and to 12.2% in 1996). This represents a shift in the hospital location of patients with vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE). International Notes West Nile Fever During the summer of 1996, a substantial epidemic (i.e., approximately 500 clinical cases, nearly 300 of them serologically confirmed) of West Nile fever occurred in Bucharest and southeastern Romania. Most recognized cases manifested as meningitis, encephalitis, or meningoencephalitis. Approximately 5% of confirmed cases were fatal, with the highest case-fatality ratios occurring among elderly persons. The abundant mosquito subspecies Culex pipiens pipiens, which prefers organically polluted water sources for reproduction, was implicated as the urban vector. West Nile virus is a mosquitoborne neurotropic flavivirus that occurs in parts of Africa, Asia, and Europe and is closely related antigenically to St. Louis encephalitis virus, which occurs in North America. O'nyong-nyong Fever During the second half of 1996, an epidemic of o'nyong-nyong fever was documented in rural, south-central Uganda. This represents only the second recognized epidemic of this disease since its initial description in 1962. O'nyong-nyong virus is a mosquitoborne alphavirus that causes a febrile disease characterized by generalized, debilitating joint pains, and often the disease is accompanied by a maculo-papular skin rash and lymphadenopathy. Fatalities are rare, but morbidity often is significant. The typical epidemic mosquito vectors are Anopheles funestus and An. gambiae, two of the region's major malaria vectors.

* July 1, 1994, post-censal population estimates were used to calculate incidence rates per 100,000 population.
+ The total number of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) cases includes all cases reported to the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention, Surveillance, and Epidemiology, National
Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP) through December 31, 1996. Reported cases for persons aged >= 65 years have been incorporated in the 40-64 years age group.
& Age-related data are collected on aggregate forms different from those used for the number of reported cases. Therefore, the total cases reported on this table may differ slightly from
other tables. Cases among persons aged <5 years are not shown because some of these may not be caused by sexual transmission; these cases are, however, included in the totals.
Cases were updated through the Division of Sexually Transmitted Diseases Prevention, NCHSTP, as of June 13, 1997. Age-related data for 1996 are unavailable for chancroid and
chlamydia.
@ Cases were updated through the Division of Tuberculosis Elimination, NCHSTP, as of May 28, 1997.
