Reported Cases 1990-1999 by State
|
|
The CDC began surveillance for Lyme disease in 1982 and the
Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) designated
Lyme disease as a nationally notifiable disease in January 1991.
|
|
|
|
Reports of Lyme disease in New York have increased
at a much higher rate than other states located in the Northeast
United States. This data is based on reporting only those cases
that meet the CDC's Lyme disease surveillance
criteria. The Center for Disease Control estimates the actual
number of cases of Lyme disease may be 10 times higher.
