State Requirements for Reporting Infectious
and Occupational Diseases
Two articles published in the December 1, 1989, issue of the
Journal of the American Medical Association contain lists of
infectious (1) and occupational (2) diseases required to be
reported to each state. These articles are useful references for
health practitioners and public health workers. A report on this
subject will be published as an MMWR Recommendations and Reports
in the near future.
