Occupational disease surveillance data sources, 1985
Health department epidemiologists in 50 states, New York City, and the District of Columbia were surveyed in 1985 about seven potential data sources for occupational disease surveillance. Reported sources of occupational disease data were: automated workers' compensation claims (63 per cent of the 52 respondents); provider reports (62 per cent); death certificates with occupation or industry (60 per cent); cancer registries with occupational hist…
An outbreak of community-acquired Legionnaires' disease pneumonia
In October 1981, an outbreak of 29 cases of community-acquired pneumonia occurred among adult residents of Johnson County, Iowa. Retrospective study revealed 12 cases (41 per cent) had laboratory evidence of Legionnaires' disease (LD). No significant differences in clinical or epidemiological features were found between LD cases and the other pneumonias in the outbreak. All LD cases received erythromycin; one case died for a case-fatality rate of…
Measles in a partially immunized community
During the investigation of a measles outbreak in a rural community, a spectrum of illness was observed which ranged in severity from a brief febrile illness to one characteristic of typical measles. Unimmunized children were more apt to develop measles (p less than 0.001) than were immunized children. However, a proportion of both the immunized and unimmunized children developed a milder, "measles-associated," illness. Employing a logistic model…
