                                                                                      This issue of MMWR incorporates modifications to Tables I and II, Cases of Notifiable Diseases, United States. This year, the purposes of the modifications are to add diseases recently designated nationally notifiable by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, in conjunction with CDC, and to group together selected vaccine-preventable diseases. As of January 1, 1996, a total of 52 infectious diseases were designated as notifiable at the national level (Table_1). Except where otherwise indicated, the data presented in the notifiable disease tables are transmitted to CDC through the National Electronic Telecommunications System for Surveillance (NETSS).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
                                                                                      Table I                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
                                                                                      For the infectious diseases added during 1995 to the list of nationally notifiable diseases that are reportable in 25-39 states, data will now be included in Table I; these diseases are cryptosporidiosis, California encephalitis, eastern equine encephalitis, western equine encephalitis, St. Louis encephalitis, hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, pediatric human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and streptococcal toxic-shock syndrome. Because not all nationally notifiable diseases are reportable in every state or territory, the reported numbers of cases of some diseases in Table I represent only the totals from states or territories in which the diseases are reportable. In this table, pediatric HIV infection refers to HIV infection in persons aged less than 13 years -- in one state, less than 6 years. In addition, "primary encephalitis" is no longer nationally notifiable, although arboviral encephalitides are reportable by specific etiology.

                                                                                      Cumulative totals of the number of cases of genital Chlamydia trachomatis infection and Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection are presented by state and territory. To assist in characterizing the emerging problem of E. coli O157:H7 infection, data about such infections are presented from the Public Health Laboratory Information System (PHLIS) as well as NETSS. E. coli cases reported to PHLIS are based on state of report (rather than state of residence) and the date the specimen was collected; however, reporting of such cases will be delayed until confirmatory laboratory testing is completed.

Although the serotype of invasive Haemophilus influenzae is not routinely reported through NETSS, serotype b is preventable by routine childhood vaccination; therefore, reports of invasive H. influenzae will be moved from Table I to Table III.
