Reporting incidence: an epidemiological viewpoint.
The incidence of gonorrhea in Canada is apparently increasing rapidly despite laws for the control of the disease. The requirement to report the names of cases of gonorrhea is inhibiting surveillance. Greater control of gonorrhea would be encouraged by rescinding existing legislation and abandoning the legalistic approach to management of the disease.
