Please note:
An
erratum has been published for this article. To view the erratum, please click here.
The notifiable diseases table on pages 851--858 summarize final data for
1999. These data, final as of August 15, 2000, will be published in more detail in the
MMWR Summary of Notifiable Diseases, United States,
1999 (1). Because no cases of anthrax, human rabies, or paralytic poliomyelitis were reported in the United
States during 1999, these nationally notifiable diseases do not appear in these
tables. Nationally notifiable diseases that are reportable in <40 states do not appear in
these tables. Policies for reporting notifiable disease cases vary by disease,
reporting jurisdiction, and case status classification (i.e., confirmed, probable, or
suspect). Population estimates for the states are from the July 1, 1999, estimates by the
U.S. Department of Commerce, Economics and Statistics Administration, Bureau of
the Census, Population Division, Population Distribution Branch, Internet release
ST-99-1, December 29, 1999 (2). Population
numbers for territories are 1998 estimates from Bureau of the Census press releases PR-99-1
(3) and CB98-219 (4).
