MORBIDITY
Introduction
This
chapter is derived from data on cases of reportable diseases submitted
to designated programs of the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior
Services responsible for their collection and maintenance. The New Jersey
Sanitary Code and the New Jersey Administrative Code 8:57 require providing
notification to the Department of Health and Senior Services of cases
of selected communicable diseases. AIDS and AIDS-Related Complex (ARC)
were added to the list of legally reportable diseases on October 6,
1986, under State Regulation 8:57-1.14. Effective May 21, 1990, State
Regulation 8:57-2.1 was amended to omit ARC as a reportable condition,
and to mandate anonymous reporting of HIV infections. In October, 1991,
the regulations were again amended to mandate named reporting of HIV
infections by providers and in April, 1992 revised to mandate laboratory
reporting of HIV infections with identifiers.
AIDS
and cases of HIV infection are reported to the HIV/AIDS Surveillance
Program in the AIDS Epidemiological Services Unit within the Division
of AIDS Prevention and Control. The Tuberculosis Control Program collects
information on tuberculosis cases occurring in New Jersey through its
monitoring and surveillance activities. Cases of syphilis and gonorrhea
are reported to the Sexually Transmitted Disease Control Program. Data
on selected vaccine-preventable childhood diseases are reported to the
Vaccine Preventable Program and data on all other communicable diseases
are reported to the Infectious and Zoonotic Program. These programs
are coordinated by the Communicable Disease Service within the Division
of Epidemiology, Environmental, & Occupational Health.
