Abstract: Formal surveillance of 18 separate reportable diseases has been ongoing to meet public demand and scientific interest in accurate, consistent, epidemiological data. This is a renewal with change of a previously approved data collection. We have added two new forms, Tularemia, and Invasive Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA). The CDC, working with state Health Departments, propose, coordinate, and evaluate nationwide surveillance systems. State epidemiologists are responsible for the collection, interpretations, and transmission of medical/epidemiological information to CDC. The purpose for reporting communicable diseases is to determine the prevalence of diseases dangerous to public health, provide the basis for planning and evaluating effective programs for prevention and control of infectious diseases, and study present and emerging disease problems. CDC coordination of nationwide reporting maintains uniformity so that comparisons can be made from state to state and year to year.
