Overview In the United States, requirements for reporting diseases are mandated by state laws or regulations, and the list of reportable diseases in each state differs. In October 1990, in collaboration with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, CDC published a report entitled Case Definitions for Public Health Surveillance (MMWR 1990;39[No. RR-13]) (hereafter referred to as the "1990 Report"), which, for the first time, provided uniform criteria for reporting cases. The 1990 report, containing the original case definitions, is available for download as a .pdf file. Download RR3913 now (size approximately 310,000 bytes). Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader - available here. The 1990 Report was revised and published in 1997 to provide updated uniform criteria* for state health department personnel to use when reporting notifiable diseases to CDC. The 1997 updates were published in a report entitled Case Definitions for Infectious Conditions Under Public Health Surveillance....

A national surveillance scheme for HUS was established in 1994, although notification is not mandatory. Without formal notification requirements, good reporting of HUS has been associated with either clustering of cases or the fact that few hospitals in a region have the capacity to manage these cases.... http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/eid/vol1no4/cameron.htm ______________________________________ All countries should establish continuous surveillance and **compulsory notification** for BSE according to recommendations established by the Office international des Epizooties in Paris. In the absence of surveillance data, the BSE status of a country must be considered as unknown. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00040791.htm _______________________________________ National Plague Control Program The national plague control program is financially supported by the World Bank and the French Ministry of Cooperation. The surveillance system used is based on immediate **compulsory notification** of every suspected case of plague and its biologic confirmation by the Central Laboratory. All patients with suspected cases are treated with streptomycin, and their contacts are treated with sulfonamides to prevent disease spread. http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/eid/vol4no1/chanteau.htm
