Summary of Notifiable Diseases, United States, 1995

Foreword

This publication contains summary tables of the official statistics for the reported occurrence of nationally notifiable diseases in the United States for 1995. 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 1995. The tables provide the number of cases of notifiable diseases reported to CDC for 1995, 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 26, 1996, unless otherwise noted. There were no reported cases of anthrax, diphtheria, and yellow fever in the United States during 1995; thus, these three nationally notifiable diseases do not appear in the tables in Part 1. In all tables, leprosy is listed as Hansen disease and tickborne 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 1966. It also includes a table enumerating deaths associated with specified notifiable diseases that were reported to the National Center for Health Statistics, CDC, during 1984-1993.

Background

As of January 1, 1995, 49 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. 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.

CSTE and CDC held a national surveillance conference November 30- December 2, 1994, to review the state of national surveillance for infectious diseases. Conditions that were approved for addition to national surveillance during 1995 are genital infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, coccidioidomycosis (for regional surveillance), cryptosporidiosis, hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), (post-diarrheal) hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS), pediatric infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), invasive group A streptococcal infections, streptococcal toxic-shock syndrome, and invasive infections caused by drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. These conditions currently are not reportable in all states, and the mechanism for reporting them may not involve clinicians or consist of reports of individual cases, which are the traditional reporting mechanisms. Reports of the number of cases of these conditions -- with the exception of genital infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis (which has been reportable in many states for a number of years) -- will not appear in the current summary tables; they will, however appear in the 1996 annual summary.

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 summary tables for 1995 or for future years.

The list of 52 infectious diseases that were designated as notifiable at the national level at the end of 1995 appears below: *

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) 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 (i.e., in persons ages less than 13 years) Legionellosis Lyme disease Malaria Measles 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 **

  • Although varicella is not a nationally notifiable disease, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists recommends reporting of cases of this disease to CDC. ** Not currently published in the weekly tables.

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 are published in the annual MMWR Summary of Notifiable Diseases only after approval by the appropriate epidemiologist from each submitting state or territory and 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 Surveillance and Epidemiology, Epidemiology Program Office, CDC, by the health departments of 50 states, two cities, and five territories through the National Electronic Telecommunications System for Surveillance (NETSS). 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, Shigella, and penicillin-nonsusceptible S. pneumoniae {PNSP}) Division of HIV/AIDS 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 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 1995.

Population estimates for states are based on the July 1, 1995, post-censal estimates made by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, Population Division, Population Estimates Branch, Press Release CB94-204. Because these estimates are unavailable by age and sex for 1995, rates for reported disease occurrences by age group and among males and females use population totals from the July 1, 1993, 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 1995 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 likely to be 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 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 and the Division of STD Prevention in NCHSTP collect information regarding race and ethnicity using a single variable instead of two separate variables. A person's racial and ethnic background is reported as either American Indian/Alaskan 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, it is not clear that this procedure is always followed.

Highlights for Selected Infectious Diseases

Arboviral Encephalitis

In 1995, a case of encephalitis caused by Cache Valley virus was reported in North Carolina. Although this mosquito-borne bunyavirus was previously known to cause subclinical infections in humans, no clinical cases had been recognized previously.

Coccidioidomycosis

In 1995, the CSTE recommended that coccidioidomycosis become a regionally reportable disease. Because the Emerging Infectious Program at the National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID/CDC), in collaboration with the State of California Department of Health Services, has been conducting active surveillance for coccidioidomycosis in Kern County, California, for some time, its data are presented. The total number of coccidioidomycosis cases reported to the Kern County Health Department during 1995 was 770; this represents a drop in the number of cases when compared with the large number reported in the epidemic years during 1991- 1994 (e.g., during 1992, a peak of 3,342 cases occurred in Kern County alone).

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a subacute, degenerative disease of the brain that is classified as a transmissible, spongiform encephalopathy. More than 85% of CJD patients die within 1 year of onset. From 1979 through 1994, there were 3,642 CJD-related deaths in the United States (based on national data concerning multiple causes of death and a preliminary total of 280 deaths in 1994). The average annual age-adjusted death rate attributed to CJD is 0.95 deaths per million persons. As of September 15, 1996, evidence does not indicate that cases of the newly described variant of CJD (i.e., the type identified in the United Kingdom) have occurred in the United States. This evidence is based on the analysis of both national data and data from active, retrospective surveillance for CJD conducted since 1991 by special surveillance teams in five areas of the country (1993 population: 16.3 million persons).

Cryptosporidiosis

National reporting of cryptosporidiosis began in 1995. During 1995, it was reportable in 24 of 50 states; however, many other states have made or are in the process of making cryptosporidiosis a notifiable disease. Because the diagnosis of cryptosporidiosis is often not considered, and because most laboratories do not routinely test for Cryptosporidium infection, cryptosporidiosis will continue to be underdiagnosed and underreported.

Dengue and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever

In 1995, most tropical countries in the Americas reported major outbreaks of dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). During this period, the Pan American Health Organization received reports of over 250,000 total cases of dengue and DHF from member countries. This was the largest number reported since 1981, when the worst epidemic in the Americas occurred in Cuba. As a result of this widespread activity, the number of laboratory-positive cases of imported dengue in the United States increased to 86 in 1995 from 37 in 1994. During 1995, the Texas State Health Department reported eight laboratory-positive cases resulting from local transmission by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Dengue transmission in the continental United States had not been reported since 1986.

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome

Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is now recognized as a pan-American viral zoonosis caused by Sin Nombre virus and other New World hantaviruses. The identified rodent reservoirs for these viruses are as follows: Peromyscus maniculatus and P. leucopus (deer mouse and white-footed mouse, respectively) for Sin Nombre virus and its variants; Sigmodon hispidus (cotton rat) for Black Creek Canal virus; and Oryzomys palustris (rice rat) for Bayou virus. Cases of HPS have been found throughout the continental United States, in Canada, and in South America. As of August 22, 1996, national surveillance for HPS has identified 143 confirmed case-patients in 25 states (case-fatality rate: 50.2%); 23 of these cases occurred in 1995.

Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome

Infection caused by Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (i.e., STEC), especially serotype O157:H7, is the leading cause of hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) in the United States. Although an estimated 1,200 HUS cases caused by infectious agents occur in the United States each year, the absence of longstanding surveillance data has limited the assessment of HUS as a public health problem. When surveyed in August 1994, only 15 states listed HUS as a notifiable disease. Recent efforts to improve surveillance include the creation of a unique International Classification of Diseases code for HUS; the adoption of a uniform, post-diarrheal case definition for HUS by the CSTE; and the recommendation by CSTE, in 1995, that HUS be made a notifiable disease in all states. Efforts are also underway to establish active surveillance for HUS in selected states.

HIV Infection in Children and Infants

In 1994, results of the AIDS Clinical Trials Group Protocol 076 indicated that administering zidovudine to a selected group of pregnant, HIV-infected women, and subsequently to their newly born infants, reduced the risk for perinatal HIV transmission to these infants by two thirds. The U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) subsequently issued guidelines for the use of zidovudine to reduce perinatal transmission of HIV (MMWR 1994;43{No. RR-11}:1-20) and the routine counseling and voluntary HIV testing of all pregnant women (MMWR 1995;44{No. RR-7}:1-15). USPHS also issued revised guidelines on PCP prophylaxis for children (MMWR 1995;44 {No. RR-4}:1-11) that recommends each child born to an HIV-infected mother receive PCP prophylaxis until the child's HIV status is determined. States that conduct surveillance of pediatric HIV exposure/infection should be able to evaluate the implementation and impact of these guidelines most effectively and enhance early identification of HIV status in infants. In 1995, 28 states conducted surveillance of HIV infection in children. These states reported 332 HIV-infected children who had not progressed to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and 229 children who had AIDS.

Penicillin-Nonsusceptible S. pneumoniae

The prevalence of cases of penicillin-nonsusceptible S. pneumoniae * (PNSP) among invasive pneumococcal infections in selected metropolitan areas for 1995 is presented. In these areas, population-based active surveillance for all invasive pneumococcal infections is ongoing; in each of the regions, the denominator reflects greater than 100 cases of invasive pneumococcal disease. The prevalence of PNSP from hospital to hospital within each metropolitan area varied widely, suggesting that sentinel hospitals may not accurately reflect the prevalence of PNSP within a given city, let alone for the entire state. In addition, the prevalence of PNSP cases can increase rapidly (e.g., the prevalence of PNSP cases for Atlanta was 25% in 1994 and 33% in 1995).

Prevalence of PNSP among invasive Active surveillance area pneumococcal infections -------------------------------------------------------------------- - State of Connecticut ** 10%-19% Baltimore, MD Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN ** San Francisco, CA

Portland, OR ** 20%-29% San Antonio, TX

Atlanta, GA >= 30% Urban counties, TN ***


* S. pneumoniae isolates with penicillin minimum inhibitory concentration greater than or equal to 0.125 mg/mL. ** These figures are based on data from less than 1 year. *** Includes the metropolitan areas of Chattanooga, Knoxville, Memphis, and Nashville, Tennessee.

International Notes

Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever

In 1995, an outbreak of Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) caused by the Zaire subtype of Ebola virus occurred in Kikwit, Zaire. A total of 316 cases of EHF were confirmed, resulting in 244 deaths (case-fatality rate: 77%). Case-patients ranged in age from 3 days to 71 years (median age: 35 years), and slightly more than half of the case-patients (i.e., 53%) were female. The earliest identified case occurred in January, and the epidemic peaked in May 1995. In December 1995, a single case of EHF occurred in Cote d'Ivoire and was caused by the recently recognized Ivory Coast subtype of Ebola virus. The natural reservoir of Ebola virus remains unknown.

 * July 1, 1993, 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, National Center for HIV, STD, and TB
   Prevention (NCHSTP) through December 31, 1995.
 & 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 ages <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 March 1, 1996. Age data for 1995 are unavailable for chancroid
   and chlamydia.
 @ Seven additional suspected cases of paralytic poliomyelitis were reported in 1995. Confirmation of these cases is pending review by an external panel.
** Casese were updated through the Division of Tuberculosis Elimination, NCHSTP, as of May 29, 1996.

* Numbers in ICD column refer to the category numbers listed in the Ninth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases, 1994. (The asterisks in the ICD column pertain to the
  ICD code, not a footnote. They indicate that the numbers are not part of the ICD but were introduced for use in the United States.)
+ For 1983-1986, deaths are estimated from death certificates that mention conditions coded to deficiency of cell-mediated immunity (ICD-9 No.279.1). These numbers include other
  human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related deaths and other diseases classifiable as deficiencies of cell-mediated immunity.
