Notice to Readers: Final 2000 Reports of Notifiable Diseases
The notifiable diseases tables on pages 721 to 728 summarize final data for
2000. Final as of July 25, 2001, these data will be published in more detail in the
Summary of Notifiable Diseases, United States,
2000 (1). Because no cases of western
equine encephalitis, paralytic poliomyelitis, or yellow fever were reported in the United
States during 2000, these nationally notifiable diseases do not appear in these tables.
Policies for reporting notifiable disease cases can vary by disease or reporting
jurisdiction depending on case status classification (i.e., confirmed, probable, or
suspect). Population estimates for the states are from the U.S. Bureau of the Census:
1991--1999 Estimates of the Population of Counties by Age, Sex and Race/Hispanic
Origin:
1990 to 1999 (machine-readable files). Population numbers for territories are
1998 estimates from Bureau of the Census press releases PR-99-1
(2) and CB98219 (3).
