This report summarizes data from electronic reports of reportable medical events (RMEs) to examine the incidence of vector-borne infectious diseases among members of the U.S. Armed Forces during a recent 5-year period. Case reports of such diseases were characterized as confirmed, probable, or suspected by the senders of the RME reports. Records of inpatient and outpatient care were not searched to find additional cases. Lyme disease and malaria were the most common diagnoses among confirmed cases. The next most common diagnoses were Zika virus infection, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and dengue. Those 5 diseases were responsible for 94% of all confirmed vectorborne diseases reported as RMEs. Among the 1,068 RMEs for vector-borne diseases (confirmed, probable, and suspected), there were only 105 such cases that could be linked to a record of hospitalization for the same diagnosis.
本报告汇总了可报告医疗事件（RME）电子报告中的数据，以检查在最近 5 年期间美国武装部队成员中虫媒传染病的发病率。RME 报告发送者将此类疾病的病例报告特征描述为确诊、可能或疑似。未搜索住院和门诊护理记录以发现其他病例。莱姆病和疟疾是确诊病例中最常见的诊断。下一个最常见的诊断是寨卡病毒感染、落基山斑疹热和登革热。这 5 种疾病占所有报告的 RME 虫媒传染病确诊病例的 94%。在 1068 例虫媒传染病（确诊、可能和疑似）RME 中，仅有 105 例可与同一诊断的住院记录相关联。
