The Summary of Notifiable Diseases — United States, 2005 contains the official statistics, in tabular and graphic form, for the reported occurrence of nationally notifiable infectious diseases in the United States for 2005. Unless otherwise noted, the data are final totals for 2005 reported as of June 30, 2006. These statistics are collected and compiled from reports sent by state 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). The Summary is available at http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/summary.html. This site also includes publications from previous years.

The Highlights section presents noteworthy epidemiologic and prevention information for 2005 for selected diseases and additional information to aid in the interpretation of surveillance and disease-trend data. Part 1 contains tables showing incidence data for the nationally notifiable infectious diseases during 2005.* The tables provide the number of cases reported to CDC for 2005 as well as the distribution of cases by month, geographic location, and the patient’s demographic characteristics (age, sex, race, and ethnicity). Part 2 contains graphs and maps that depict summary data for certain notifiable infectious diseases described in tabular form in Part 1. Part 3 contains tables that list the number of cases of notifiable diseases reported to CDC since 1973. This section also includes a table enumerating deaths associated with specified notifiable diseases reported to CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) during 2002–2003. The Selected Reading section presents general and disease-specific references for notifiable infectious diseases. These references provide additional information on surveillance and epidemiologic concerns, diagnostic concerns, and disease-control activities.

Comments and suggestions from readers are welcome. To increase the usefulness of future editions, comments about the current report and descriptions of how information is or could be used are invited. Comments should be sent to Public Health Surveillance Team — NNDSS, Division of Integrated Surveillance Systems and Services, National Center for Public Health Informatics at soib@cdc.gov.

* Because no cases of anthrax; diphtheria; domestic arboviral, western equine encephalitis virus, neuroinvasive and nonneuroinvasive, eastern equine nonneuroinvasive, and Powassen nonneuroinvasive; severe acute respiratory syndrome–associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) disease; smallpox; or yellow fever were reported in the United States during 2005, these diseases do not appear in the tables in Part 1. For certain other nationally notifiable diseases, incidence data were reported to CDC but are not included in the tables or graphs of this Summary. Data on chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus infection past or present are undergoing quality review. Data on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections are not included because HIV infection (not acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [AIDS]) reporting has been implemented on different dates and using different methods than for AIDS case reporting; however, these data are summarized in the Highlights section.

All states report conditions that were designated as internationally quarantinable and notifiable (i.e., cholera, plague, and yellow fever) in compliance with the International Health Regulations (IHR) issued by the World Health Organization (WHO). In May 2005, the World Health Assembly adopted revised IHR. The current IHR will be replaced by the 2005 IHR when it becomes official on June 15, 2007, unless an earlier implementation date is adopted. The 2005 IHR revision stipulates that smallpox, poliomyelitis caused by wild-type poliovirus, human influenza caused by a new subtype, and SARS-CoV are public health events of international concern (PHEIC) and are reportable to WHO. In addition, the 2005 IHR includes an open-ended algorithm to determine other conditions or events that require mandatory reporting to WHO because they might constitute a PHEIC. Conditions for which the algorithm is used to determine notifiability include, but are not limited to, cholera, pneumonic plague, yellow fever, West Nile fever, and meningococcal disease (2). On December 13, 2006, the United States formally accepted the 2005 IHR and is taking steps to implement these new international rules.
