------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * NR = No report (1)For 1941-1946, data were reported for the federal fiscal year ending June 30 of the year indicated. From 1947 to the present, data were reported for the calendar year ending December 31. For 1941-1958, data for Alaska and Hawaii were not included. (2)For 1941-1994, rates include all cases of congenitally acquired syphilis per 100,000 population. As of 1995, rates of congenital syphilis <1 year of age per 100,000 population are reported. For rates of congenital syphilis <1 year of age per 100,000 live births see Tables 34 and 35. As of 1995, cases of congenital syphilis <1 year of age per 100,000 live births are obtained using a new reporting form (CDC 73.126). NOTE: Adjustments to the number of cases reported from state health departments were accepted through March 31, 1996 (see Appendix). The number of cases and the rates shown here supersede those published in previous reports. Military cases are no longer categorized separately and are included with civilian cases. Georgia has been excluded from Gonorrhea numbers for 1994 (see Appendix). ==========================================================================================================================================================================
