We describe neonatal herpes reporting and the number of cases reported in states with reporting requirements in the United States, 2000-2005.
A national assessment of neonatal herpes reporting practices was conducted using an e-mail and phone query.
Neonatal herpes was a reportable condition in 9 states in the United States from 2000-2005: CT, MA, FL, OH, NE, LA, SD, DE, and WA. There was no standard surveillance case definition in 5 states and in 4 states there was no specific form for reporting neonatal herpes. Few cases were reported in any state (range, 0-13 cases per year). A total of 112 cases were reported in these 9 states over 5 years (2000-2004); the overall incidence rate was 4 cases/100,000 live births.
Although reportable in some states, neonatal herpes is not currently a nationally reportable disease. As currently employed by individual states during this time frame, neonatal herpes reporting does not appear to be a reliable way to assess burden of disease. Development of a standard case definition and assessment of the best approaches for local and national neonatal herpes surveillance may improve performance of such reporting.
我们描述2000 - 2005年美国有报告要求的各州新生儿疱疹的报告情况及报告病例数。
通过电子邮件和电话查询对新生儿疱疹报告实践进行全国性评估。
2000 - 2005年期间，美国有9个州将新生儿疱疹列为应报告疾病：康涅狄格州、马萨诸塞州、佛罗里达州、俄亥俄州、内布拉斯加州、路易斯安那州、南达科他州、特拉华州和华盛顿州。5个州没有标准的监测病例定义，4个州没有报告新生儿疱疹的特定表格。任何一个州报告的病例都很少（范围为每年0 - 13例）。这9个州在5年（2000 - 2004年）内共报告了112例；总体发病率为4例/10万活产。
虽然在一些州应报告，但新生儿疱疹目前并非全国应报告疾病。在此时间段内各州目前采用的方式下，新生儿疱疹报告似乎并非评估疾病负担的可靠方法。制定标准病例定义以及评估地方和全国新生儿疱疹监测的最佳方法可能会改善此类报告的效果。
