Annual Disease Report
Posted 13 July
2010
The Iowa Department
of Public Health (IDPH) has issued the 2009 Iowa Surveillance of
Notifiable and Other Diseases Report. The annual report provides a
yearly snapshot of what, how, and when events impact the public’s
health.
In 2009, more than 53,000 reports of infectious disease were submitted
to IDPH disease surveillance programs. IDPH also investigates
conditions related to lead, occupational, and environmental hazards
like carbon monoxide.
"There were many public health challenges in 2009,” said IDPH Medical
Director Dr. Patricia Quinlisk. "The most widespread event was pandemic
flu, with the first wave in early May, followed by a second wave in
October and November. Surveillance data compiled by IDPH and its
partners were critical to decisions made on how to best respond to
H1N1."
Other significant elements of the 2009 report include cases of Lyme
disease topping 100 for the third consecutive year; the continued
increase in chlamydial infections, which have been rising for the past
30 years; and a 19 percent increase over last year in diagnosed HIV
cases.
