Surveillance for diarrheal disease in New York City.
In an effort to document the occurrence of diarrheal disease more fully and to hasten recognition of a diarrheal disease outbreak in New York City, three special surveillance programs monitor nonspecific indicators of diarrheal disease. Twenty-six months of data from the clinical laboratory surveillance system are summarized to illustrate the type of data generated by these special surveillance programs.
