BACKGROUND
Background
According to the NC Administrative Code (rule 10A NCAC 41A.0101), 75 communicable disease conditions are legally required to be reported to the Division of Public Health within specified timeframes, depending on the disease. Some of these conditions are rarely, if ever, reported to occur in Guilford County and others are very frequent. The overview includes selected reportable diseases, organized by means of transmission, and the trend that we have noticed in the last five (5) years.
