ANNUAL STATEWIDE REPORT - STD MORBIDITY:
These reports include morbidity data and incidence rates by county for
Washington State's legally reportable sexually transmitted diseases.
These STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes simplex-initial
genital infection and the uncommon STDs that include chancroid,
lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) and granuloma inguinale (GI).
Narrative sections are incorporated in the reports as well as analysis of
disease trends. Various charts and graphs illustrate the numbers of
cases reported and rates per 100,000 population as well as county rankings
and breakdown of disease by sex and age groups. Separate slide sets
allows persons to download the graphs for use in presentations.
ANNUAL STD REPORT
- COUNTY PROFILES:
These reports present an in-depth look at sexually transmitted
diseases in each of Washington State's thirty-nine counties. The
format includes charts and graphs illustrating for each county their
chlamydia and gonorrhea morbidity by sex with rates of disease per
100,000 population. Repeaters (more than one infection in a
12-month period prior to being treated) and asymptomatic (lacking signs
and symptoms) case numbers are displayed. Also included is a
summary of the types of providers reporting disease and chlamydia
testing data from clinics participating in the Infertility Prevention
Project in that county.
Note: Profiles vary from county to county due to the numbers of reported
cases for that year, e.g., if a county had under five cases of a
disease, charts and graphs for that disease would not be included.
