Final 2012 Reports of Nationally Notifiable Infectious Diseases

Abstract

The tables listed in this report on pages 970–982 summarize finalized data, as of June 30, 2013, from the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) for 2012. These data will be published in more detail in the Summary of Notifiable Diseases — United States, 2012 (1). Because no cases were reported in the United States during 2012, the following diseases do not appear in these early release tables: anthrax; eastern equine encephalitis virus disease, nonneuroinvasive; poliomyelitis, paralytic; poliovirus infection, nonparalytic; Powassan virus nonneuroinvasive disease; severe acute respiratory syndrome–associated coronavirus disease (SARSCoV); smallpox; western equine encephalitis virus disease, neuroinvasive and nonneuroinvasive; yellow fever; and viral hemorrhagic fevers. 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 2012 finalized tables are listed in the “Print Criteria” column of the NNDSS event code list, available at http://wwwn.cdc.gov/nndss/document/ nndss_event_code_list_2012.pdf.
