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 8/1/06.
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.
N/A Data not available.
* 4-year (instead of 5-year) median cumulative is provided for HIV/AIDS due
to change in the reporting system in 2004
