Physician reporting of Lyme disease--Connecticut, 1991-1992.
Although disease reporting by physicians is an essential component of public health surveillance, the extent of physician participation in reporting specific diseases is not routinely assessed. As part of an evaluation of Lyme disease (LD) surveillance, the Connecticut Department of Health Services (CDHS) conducted a study to determine the number and specialty of Connecticut physicians who reported LD cases in 1991 and/or 1992. This report summarizes the results of this study.
