Other Sexually Transmitted Diseases

--  Since 1987, reported cases of chancroid have declined steadily
    (Table_1, Figure_34). In 1996, a total of 386 cases of
    chancroid were reported from 22 states (Table_40). Five states
    (Illinois, Louisiana, New York, North Carolina, Texas) reported 88% of
    the 386 cases.

--  Comprehensive surveillance data for non-gonococcal urethritis, genital
    herpes simplex virus, human papillomavirus, and trichomoniasis are not
    available. Ongoing trend data are limited to estimates of trends in
    physicians' office practices provided by the National Disease and
    Therapeutic Index (Figure_35, Figure_36, Figure_37,
    Figure_38).

For data on PID, see the Special Focus Profile on Women and Infants.
