Description:The Summary of Notifiable Infectious Diseases and Condition—United States, 2013 (hereafter referred to as the summary) contains the official statistics, in tabular and graphic form, for the reported occurrence of nationally notifiable infectious diseases and conditions in the United States for 2013. Unless otherwise noted, data are final totals for 2013 reported as of June 30, 2014. These statistics are collected and compiled from reports sent by U.S. state and territory, New York City, and District of Columbia health departments to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS), which is operated by CDC in collaboration with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE). This summary is available at http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/mmwr_nd/index.html. This site also includes summary publications from previous years.
The Highlights section presents noteworthy epidemiologic and prevention information for 2013 for selected infectious diseases and conditions and additional information to aid in the interpretation of surveillance and infectious diseases- and conditions-trend data. Part 1 contains tables showing incidence data for the nationally notifiable infectious diseases and conditions reported during 2013; these tables do not include rows for conditions with zero cases reported in 2013.* The tables provide the number of cases reported to CDC for 2013 and the distribution of cases by month, geographic location, and patients' demographic characteristics (e.g., age, sex, race, and ethnicity). Part 1 also includes a table with the reported incidence of notifiable diseases during 2003–2013 and a table enumerating deaths associated with specified notifiable infectious diseases and conditions reported to CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) during 2005–2011. Part 2 contains graphs and maps that depict summary data for selected notifiable infectious diseases and conditions described in tabular form in Part 1. Historical notifiable disease data, annotated as Part 3 in previous releases of this summary will no longer be included beginning with this report. Historical notifiable disease data during 1944–2012 are available online in previous years' summaries (http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/mmwr_nd). Efforts are underway to post finalized data for years 2004–2012 on CDC WONDER (http://wonder.cdc.gov). The Selected Reading section presents general and disease-specific references for notifiable infectious diseases and conditions. These references provide additional information on surveillance and epidemiologic concerns, diagnostic concerns, and infectious disease-control activities.
