title: Lyme disease--United States, 1991-1992.
abstract: Surveillance for Lyme disease (LD) was initiated by CDC in 1982 (1), and in 1990, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) approved a resolution making LD nationally reportable. During 1982-1991, states reported 40,195 cases of LD. In 1992, LD accounted for more than 90% of all reported vectorborne illnesses in the United States (CDC, unpublished, 1993). This report summarizes surveillance for LD in the United States during 1991-1992.
