Not all diseases are subject to mandatory reporting. The specific diseases that must be reported can vary by jurisdiction but typically include:
- Notifiable Diseases: These are diseases that, by law, must be reported to public health authorities. Examples include tuberculosis, measles, and certain sexually transmitted infections. - Emerging Infectious Diseases: New or re-emerging diseases that pose a significant public health risk. - Outbreaks: Any unusual increase in the incidence of a disease.
