The tables listed in this report on pages 1089--1101 summarize finalized data, as of June 30, 2011, from the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) for 2010. These data will be published in more detail in the Summary of Notifiable Diseases --- United States, 2010 (1). Because no cases of anthrax; diphtheria; eastern equine encephalitis virus disease, non-neuroinvasive; poliovirus infection, nonparalytic; Powassan virus disease, non-neuroinvasive; rubella, congenital syndrome; severe acute respiratory syndrome--associated coronavirus disease; smallpox; western equine encephalitis virus disease, neuroinvasive and non-neuroinvasive; or yellow fever were reported in the United States during 2010, these diseases do not appear in these early release tables.

Policies for reporting NNDSS data to CDC can vary by disease or reporting jurisdiction depending on case status classification (i.e., confirmed, probable, or suspected). The publication criteria used for the 2010 finalized tables are listed in the "Print Criteria" column of the NNDSS event code list, available at http://www.cdc.gov/osels/ph_surveillance/nndss/phs/files/nndss_event_code_list_january_2010.pdf Adobe PDF file. The NNDSS website is updated annually to include the latest national surveillance case definitions approved by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists for enumerating data on nationally notifiable infectious diseases.

Population estimates for the states are from the National Center for Health Statistics. Estimates of the July 1, 2000 through July 1, 2009, U.S. resident population are from the vintage 2009 postcensal series (by year, county, age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin), and are available at http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/bridged_race.htm. Population estimates for territories are 2009 estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau (2).
