Notice to Readers: Final 2007 Reports of Nationally Notifiable
Infectious Diseases
Please note: Errata have been published for this article. To view the errata, please click
here and here.
The tables listed in this report on pages 903--913
summarize finalized 2007 data, as of June 30, 2008, from
the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS). These data will be published in more detail in the
Summary of Notifiable Diseases, United States,
2007 (1). Because no cases of diphtheria, neuroinvasive or non-neuroinvasive western
equine encephalitis virus disease, paralytic poliomyelitis, nonparalytic poliovirus infection, congenital rubella, severe acute
respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus syndrome, smallpox, or yellow fever were reported in the United States during 2007,
these diseases do not appear in these early release
tables. Policies for reporting NNDSS data to CDC can vary by disease or
reporting jurisdiction, depending on case status classification (i.e., confirmed, probable, or suspected).
The publication criteria used for the 2007 finalized tables are listed in the "Print Criteria" column of the NNDSS
event code list, available at
http://www.cdc.gov/ncphi/disss/nndss/phs/infdis.htm. The NNDSS website is updated annually
to
include the latest national surveillance case definitions
approved by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists
for enumerating data on nationally notifiable infectious diseases.
Population estimates for the states are from the National Center for Health Statistics. Estimates of the July 1, 2000--July
1, 2006, United States resident population are from the Vintage 2006 postcensal series by year, county, age, sex, race,
and Hispanic origin, prepared under a collaborative
arrangement with the U.S. Census Bureau, and available at
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/about/major/dvs/popbridge/popbridge.htm. Population estimates for territories are 2006 estimates from
the U.S. Census Bureau (2).
