Abstract
"This publication contains summary tables of the official statistics for the occurrence of nationally notifiable diseases in the United States for calendar year 1993. This information is collected and compiled from reports to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS). Part 1 contains information on morbidity for each of the 49 currently notifiable conditions. In all tables, leprosy is listed as Hansen disease, typhus fever (flea-borne) as murine typhus fever, 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 1993, as well as the distribution of cases by month and geographic location, and by patient's age, race, and ethnicity. Part 2 contains graphs and maps depicting summary data for many of the notifiable conditions described in tabular form in Part I. Part 3 includes tables showing the number of cases of notifiable diseases reported to CDC and to the National Office of Vital Statistics since 1944. It also includes a table on deaths associated with specified notifiable diseases reported to the National Center for Health Statistics, CDC, for the period 1982-1991." - p. iiForeward -- Background -- Data sources -- Interpreting data -- 1993 Highlights for selected diseases -- Selected bibliography -- Summaries of notifiable diseases in the United States, 1993 -- Graphs and maps for selected notifiable diseases in the United States -- Historical summary tables covering the period 1944-199 -- Notifiable Diseases"The following CDC staff members prepared this report: Denise T.
