DISEASE STATISTICS

IDPH conducts surveillance and implements control activities for reportable communicable diseases. State regulations require physicians, other health care providers and others to report certain diseases to local health departments, which, in turn, report the information to IDPH. Generally, reportable diseases meet two criteria -- the cause is due to a specific disease-producing agent and there is a public health intervention for prevention of other cases. Data on more than 100,000 cases of infectious and communicable diseases reported annually to IDPH are used to administer prevention and control programs.
