NOTES:
a. Due to a national effort to de-duplicate the HIV/AIDS Reporting System, there was a change in the numbers reported as of 10/13/04.
b. Individual chickenpox case reporting became mandatory on Sept. 1, 2005, which may result in an increase in numbers.
c. Influenza-like illness numbers increased in 2005 due to a change in school reporting of communicable diseases.
d. "Meningitis, Bacterial, Other" includes cases caused by bacteria OTHER THAN H. influenzae, N. meningitidis, or S. pneumoniae.
