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. A change in the reporting process resulted in lower than typical numbers
of flu-like illness for the 04/05 school year only.
d. Includes meningitis caused by H. influenzae, N. meningitidis, S. pneumoniae,
and all other bacteria.
* Data to calculate five-year median cumulative number of cases is not
available.
