San Francisco Communicable Disease Report,
1986-2003
This report summarizes the epidemiological profile of notifiable disease reports collected by the Communicable Disease Control Unit (CDCU) of the San Francisco Department of Public Health from 1986-2003. Notifiable communicable disease reports managed by other SFDPH sections are not represented in this report (i.e. tuberculosis, HIV and AIDS, and other sexually transmitted diseases). The results are presented in two primary parts. The first part describes incidence trends of 12 selected diseases in San Francisco in the forms of narratives and graphs; graphical comparison of San Francisco disease rates with the Bay Area, California and the United States from 1994-2003 are also made. In addition to these 12 selected diseases of focus, the same graphical comparisons are made for 9 additional diseases without accompanying text in the second portion of results. Detailed frequency, rate and standardized incidence ratio tables for 21 diseases are located in Appendices C1-C3 and D1-D21. Annual frequencies for all notifiable communicable diseases managed by CDCU are located in Appendix B.
This report is in the public domain and may be reproduced with appropriate citation.
