The information contained in this report consolidates summaries of communicable disease surveillance and investigations conducted by the OSDH during 2010. Communicable disease summaries were written by personnel in the OSDH Acute Disease Service, HIV/STD Service, and the Public Health Laboratory. Specifically, the annual summary contains information on the number and incidence rate of infectious disease reports at the state and county level, disease specific data collected during public health investigations, and summaries of program activities. Title 63 Oklahoma Statute §1-503 as well as Oklahoma Administrative Code (OAC) Title 310, Chapter 515 require that healthcare providers and laboratories report cases of certain communicable diseases to the OSDH. This allows the surveillance, investigation, and control of the spread of disease in the population by public health personnel. A list of the Oklahoma notifiable disease rules is included in this annual summary for your reference. The diseases listed in the Oklahoma disease reporting rules must be reported, along with patient identifiers, demographics, and contact information, to the OSDH upon discovery as dictated in sections OAC 310:515-1-3 and OAC 310:515-1-4. The current “Oklahoma Disease Reporting Manual” is the standard reference for disease-specific diagnostic test results to be reported. The current edition of the "Oklahoma Disease Reporting Manual" and additional disease reporting resources may be accessed from the Acute Disease Service disease reporting web page of the OSDH web site at http://IDReportingAndAlerts.health.ok.gov. Several service areas of the OSDH as well as the county health departments are charged with surveillance, investigation, and control of spread of communicable diseases. Summarized below are a few notable observations regarding the epidemiology of communicable diseases in Oklahoma reported during 2010. In 2010, 199 cases of pertussis were reported, a 70% increase from the 117 cases reported in 2009. In addition to the increase from 2009, pertussis cases were the highest they have been since 1985 when 209 cases were reported. Several local community increases were observed in different parts of the state contributing to the larger number of cases for the state. Ten cases were reported in Pittsburg county residents leading to an incidence rate (IR) approximately four times the state’s rate (21.8 per 100,000). Additionally, Tulsa county saw an increase in cases beginning mid fall and continuing through the end of the year, giving the county a total of 88 cases with an incidence rate almost three times the state’s rate (14.6 per 100,000). Pertussis occurs in persons of all ages, but disproportionately affects children less than one year of age. Nearly half of all cases in 2010 were in children less than five years of age, with 28% in infants less than one year of age (IR = 100.6 per 100,000) and followed by 20% in children one to four years of age (IR = 18.0 per 100,000). Forty-seven percent of infants less than one year of age were hospitalized compared to 3.5% of all other ages. Public health efforts of timely case diagnosis, contact investigation, administration of therapy, prevention, and education, have resulted in a steady decline of tuberculosis (TB) in Oklahoma. The incidence rate of TB has declined 52% from 178 (5.2 per 100,000) cases in 2004 to 86 (2.3 per 100,000) cases in 2010. Racial disparities continued to occur among reported TB cases. In particular, the highest rates of reported TB cases occurred among persons who reported their race as Asian (22.3 per 100,000), American Indian/Alaska Natives (4.7 per 100,000), and Black (3.4 per 100,000) compared to persons who reported their race as White (1.1 per 100,000). Foreign born individual accounted for 27% of reported TB cases in Oklahoma. Prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment are paramount to successful tuberculosis control. TB should be considered in the differential diagnosis of persons presenting with a productive cough, bloody sputum, fevers, and/or unexplained weight loss. Early suspicion and testing are of utmost importance. In March 2010, the OSDH rapidly responded to an outbreak of invasive meningococcal disease in a rural school district in Northeastern Oklahoma. Five cases of invasive meningococcal disease were identified during this investigation, including two deaths. Exposed contacts were rapidly identified and recommended to receive antibiotic prophylaxis. During standard investigations of sporadic cases, individuals recommended to receive antibiotic prophylaxis are referred to their private health provider for medication. Because of the magnitude of this outbreak, epidemiologists in the Acute Disease Service and the local county health department (Rogers CHD) immediately conducted clinics at the school to administer chemoprophylaxis to exposed individuals to prevent subsequent cases. A total of 941 individuals were prophylaxed during these clinics. Laboratory testing subsequently identified serogroup C as the causative serogroup and molecular subtyping of isolates revealed all outbreak-associated cases had an indistinguishable pulsed-field gel electrophoresis pattern, which suggested a common exposure among all cases. Based upon meningococcal outbreak control guidance and the recommendation to provide meningococcal vaccine in which cases are due to serogroups included in the vaccine, a mass immunization clinic was held at the school to administer meningococcal vaccine for future protection. Vaccination clinics that targeted students pre-K through seniors, as well as faculty and employees, were conducted by Immunization Service and the Rogers CHD; 1,486 persons received the vaccine. Significant racial and age disparities continue among reported sexually transmitted diseases. In particular, the highest rates of reported HIV/AIDS, chlamydia and gonorrhea cases occurred among African Americans. In 2010, the incidence rate of reported gonorrhea cases was 18.8 times higher among African Americans compared to the incidence rate among Whites. Similarly, the incidence rate of reported chlamydia cases among African Americans was 6.4 times higher than among Whites. The highest age-specific incidence rates of reported chlamydia and gonorrhea cases occurred among young adults 15 to 19 years of age and 20 to 24 years of age. The OSDH Public Health Laboratory continues to perform serogroup identification and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), a molecular method of DNA fingerprinting, on all submitted Salmonella isolates. PFGE subtyping complements disease surveillance by detecting clusters of indistinguishable PFGE patterns among isolates of Oklahoma cases as well as patterns identified by other state public health laboratories. Once clusters are detected, public health officials rapidly investigate to identify a common source and coordinate with food regulatory agencies to initiate product recalls when indicated, which prevents the continued occurrence of illness among persons who may consume the implicated products. In 2010, two multistate outbreaks of salmonellosis involving Oklahoma residents were investigated to determine a potential source of infection. One was a multistate outbreak of S. Chester associated with consumption of single-serve frozen entrées; 44 cases from 18 states were identified in this outbreak, including one Oklahoma case. Another multistate outbreak involving Oklahoma residents was due to S. Enteritidis; approximately 1,939 cases nationwide were associated with this outbreak, including 7 from Oklahoma. An epidemiologic investigation conducted by state public health officials and CDC determined consumption of shell eggs was associated with development of illness. Results from the public health investigation prompted a traceback investigation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to determine the common source of these shell eggs. The affected eggs were then recalled, and recommendations for safe food handling were provided to egg producers, retail and food establishments, and the public. It is part of our continuing efforts to return useful information to you from the data you have reported to us. Use of this summary should give you a better idea of the incidence of reportable infectious diseases in your community and epidemiologic trends of infectious diseases in the state of Oklahoma. Additional summaries of reportable diseases in Oklahoma and resources on disease reporting are available on the OSDH website at http://www.ok.gov/health.

For disease classification purposes, the broadest categories of the disease include foodborne botulism, infant botulism, and wound botulism. In 2009, the US had 118 cases of botulism, 10 were categorized as foodborne botulism, 83 were infant botulism, and 25 were either wound botulism or an unspecified category of botulism. In 2010, Oklahoma had two cases of infant botulism. This report summarizes the clinical and laboratory results of both cases. C. botulinum is ubiquitous in the environment and rarely causes disease when ingested by healthy adults. In infants, ingested spores may multiply in the intestinal lumen and produce toxin, causing neurological illnessi. In the last several years, colonization with C. botulinum in adults has also been recognized as a rare clinical entity. Infant botulism has been epidemiologically linked to the consumption of honey, although approximately 85% of infected infants did not ingest honey prior to illness. Some studies suggest that as many as 5% of SIDS deaths are caused by infant botulismii. The two Oklahoma cases experienced symptoms of weak/altered cry, diminished suckling, hypotonia, and poor feeding. One case also experienced symptoms of paralysis and constipation. Initial tests performed to rule out other diagnoses were a CT scan, lumbar puncture, and stool cultures. Due to the cases clinical presentation and rule out testing of other diagnoses, BabyBIG® (Botulism Immune Globulin Intravenous [Human]) was released by the Infant Botulism Treatment and Prevention Program from the California Department of Health. Stool specimens were sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for C. botulinum testing. Clostridium botulinum toxin was identified in the stool of both cases. Laboratory testing identified C. botulinum toxin type A in one case and C. botulinum toxin type B was identified in the other case’s clinical specimen. Investigations conducted by the Acute Disease Service (ADS) did not identify a potential source, such as consumption of honey, for either case. Prior to 2010, the last infant botulism cases reported in Oklahoma occurred during 2001 and 2005. Botulism is an immediately notifiable condition in Oklahoma. Clinicians should contact the ADS Epidemiologist-on-Call (available 24/7/365 for disease reporting and consultation) immediately if botulism is suspected based on clinical impression. The ADS Epi-on-Call will work with the clinician and the CDC to coordinate antitoxin or BabyBIG® release and clinical specimen collection for laboratory testing. The decision to release antitoxin and BabyBIG® are based on symptoms consistent with botulism and initial tests that rule out other potential diagnoses such as LP, brain CT or MRI, edrophonium challenge test, physical exam for ticks, chest x-ray, and EMG. If given before paralysis is complete, antitoxin can prevent worsening of the patient’s illness and shorten recovery time. The decision to release antitoxin cannot depend on laboratory confirmation since routine tests cannot confirm C. botulinum with the speed required for initiating antitoxin as early as possible during the course of illness. The mouse bioassay is used by the CDC to test for C. botulinum. The Oklahoma State Department of Health Public Health Lab does not perform C. botulinum testing. The CDC will only perform C. botulinum testing if the patient’s symptoms are consistent with botulism or if the antitoxin has been released. Preferred specimens for botulism testing are serum, feces, vomitus, or gastric contents. Serum should be collected before antitoxin treatment is given. Preferred specimens for infant botulism testing are stool or rectal swab. For wound botulism, the preferred specimens are serum, tissue, or feces.

Beginning in October 2009, reported cases of campylobacteriosis are counted rather than investigated by county health department communicable disease nurses. The number of cases reported in 2010 is a 17% increase from the 384 cases reported in 2009. A seasonal trend for campylobacteriosis was seen with more cases occurring during the months of June through August (n = 192, 43%). The highest incidence rate (IR) by age group occurred among cases less than five years of age (29.79 per 100,000, n = 81), followed by cases 5 to 9 years of age (13.37 per 100,000, n = 34), and cases 60 to 69 years of age (12.90 per 100,000, n = 44). Although the IR of campylobacteriosis is 25% greater among men (13.56 per 100,000, n = 247) than women (10.78 per 100,000, n = 201), the difference is not statistically significant. No outbreaks of campylobacteriosis were reported in 2010. Cases of campylobacteriosis were reported from 67 counties in Oklahoma. The highest IR of cases occurred among residents of Cimarron County (76.05 per 100,000; n = 2). Other counties with high rates included Harper County (59.22 per 100,000; n = 2), Alfalfa County (54.73 per 100,000; n = 3), and Jackson County (47.30 per 100,000; n = 12). Population size can affect incidence rates, consequently the higher rates seen in counties with smaller population. The largest counties had the highest numbers of cases: Oklahoma had 69 cases (9.6 per 100,000) followed by Tulsa with 53 cases (8.78 per 100,000). Eighteen cases (4%) were hospitalized for campylobacteriosis; there were no deaths due to this disease in 2010. The OSDH PHL received 69 isolates to confirm Campylobacter and serogroup identification, representing 15% of the reported cases. Of these isolates, 83% were identified as C. jejuni, 7% as C. jejuni var. doylei, and 10% as C. coli.

Caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, it is the most prevalent STD in Oklahoma accounting for 76% of reported STDs in the state for 2010. Although symptoms of chlamydia are usually mild or absent, serious complications that cause irreversible damage can develop “silently” before a patient ever recognizes a problem. In women, chlamydia can cause pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, chronic pain, and/or infertility. However, up to 70% of women with chlamydia are asymptomatic. In addition, a pregnant woman infected with chlamydia can transmit the infection to her baby’s eyes during a vaginal birth. The resulting ophthalmic infection can ultimately result in the infant’s blindness. Men infected with chlamydia may have penile discharge while about 1% to 25% of men infected are asymptomatic. Possible complications of male infections include epididymitis, infertility, and Reiter Syndrome (reactive arthritis). In men, receptive anal intercourse may result in chlamydial proctitis. Oklahoma mandated chlamydia reporting in 1988, when 2,714 cases were reported. In 2010, a total of 14,302 cases were reported. The rate of chlamydia in Oklahoma decreased 4.6% between 2009 and 2010. Oklahoma had an incidence rate of 381.2 per 100,000 in 2010 with 72% of the reported cases being female. Women go to the doctor more frequently than men due to yearly exams and pregnancy; this could account for some of the huge gap in the gender of reported chlamydia cases. While Oklahoma county had the highest number of reported cases, Comanche county had the highest rate at 963.8 per 100,000, followed by Tulsa county (521.4 per 100,000) and Oklahoma county (483.9 per 100,000). Comanche county had a 15.9% increase between 2009 and 2010, while Oklahoma and Tulsa counties’ rates decreased. Chlamydia occurs in all ages, but age groups 15 to 19 years (1,936.6 per 100,000) and 20 to 24 years (2,031.8 per 100,000) had the highest rates among all the age groups. Age group 45 to 49 years had the highest rate increase at 23.6 per 100,000, 19.6% higher than 2009 (51 to 61 cases, respectively). Blacks had the highest rate among all racial groups with a rate of 1,594.5 per 100,000, 6.4 times higher when compared to Whites (249.9 per 100,000). Native Americans had the second highest rate (499.6 per 100,000) which was 1.9 times higher than Whites. Asian/Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders had a rate of 227.5 per 100,000. Hispanics had a rate of 415.1 per 100,000 in 2010, which represents a 7.4% decrease from 2009. 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Incidence Rate per 100,000 Year Chlamydia Incidence Rates per 100,000 Population, Oklahoma and U.S., 1997-2010* U.S Oklahoma *U.S. Data for 2010 not available at the time of this report. 32 Chlamydia Cases and Rates by Demographics for 2010, Oklahoma Number Percent Incidence Rate per 100,000 Male Gender (N = 14,302)* 3,9 97 27.9 % 219 .4 Female 10,297 72.0 % 552.1 Unknown 8 <1.0 % * < 10A Ygeea rGsr oups (N = 14,302)* 2 2 <1.0 % 4. 2 10 - 14 129 <1.0 % 53.4 15 - 19 4,974 34.8 % 1,936.6 20 - 24 5,705 39.9 % 2,031.8 25 - 29 2,127 14.9 % 774.5 30 - 34 821 5.7 % 356.4 35 - 39 302 2.1 % 132.1 40 - 44 114 <1.0 % 51.0 45 - 49 61 <1.0 % 23.6 > 50 Years 47 <1.0 % 4.0 AmericanR aIncdeia (nN/ A=l a1s4k,a3 0N2a) tive 1,6 07 11.2 % 499 .6 Asian/Pacific Islander 158 1.1 % 227.5 Black/African American 4,427 30.9 % 1,594.5 White 6,764 47.3 % 249.9 Multiple Race 263 1.8 % 173.9 Other 150 1.1 % 97.1 Unknown 933 6.5 % * HispaniEct hnicity (N = 1,253) 1,2 53 8.8 % 415 .1 *At the time of publication 2010 population data was not available; therefore, 2009 population data was used to calculate rates. 33 Cryptosporidiosis 2010 Case Total 122 2010 Incidence Rate 3.3 per 100,000 2009 Case Total 141 2009 Incidence Rate 3.9 per 100,000 The number of cryptosporidiosis cases reported in Oklahoma during 2010 was a 13.5% decrease compared to the 141 cases reported during 2009. Of the 122 reported cases, 93 (76%) were laboratory-confirmed cases of cryptosporidiosis and 29 (24%) were symptomatic exposed contacts to a confirmed case identified during public health investigations conducted by county health department communicable disease nurses. No outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis were reported in Oklahoma during 2010. The highest incidence rate of cryptosporidiosis occurred in persons under 10 years of age (5.5 per 100,000 population). Twelve (10%) cases reported working in or attending a child care setting. Twelve (10%) cases reported out-of-state travel and 9 (7%) reported international travel to various countries including Mexico, Ethiopia, Morocco, and Costa Rica. A seasonal trend was observed in 2010 with the majority of cases (60%) reporting onset of symptoms from June through September. The highest incidence rates of cryptosporidiosis occurred among residents of Carter (33.1 per 100,000 population), Johnston (28.7 per 100,000 population), and Ellis Counties (32.8 per 100,000 population). Regular handwashing with soap and water, whether you are ill or well, is the single most important thing you can do to prevent cryptosporidiosis and other diarrheal illnesses.

Cases of dengue fever are generally acquired outside of the US (imported or travel-associated), but non-imported cases have been identified in Hawaii in 2001, Texas in 2005, and Florida in 2009 and 2010. Most dengue cases in U.S. citizens occur in endemic areas, such as, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Samoa, and Guam. In Oklahoma, all dengue fever cases reported in 2010 were imported. Two cases reported visiting the Caribbean, one case visited Central American, and one case visited Southeast Asia during the incubation period. Only one case was hospitalized for this illness. All four cases reported being bitten by mosquitoes. Only one of the cases reported using mosquito repellant/prevention methods. The cases’ ages ranged from 12 to 23 years. All four cases reported fever and myalgia. Three of the cases reported chills and anorexia and two cases reported rash, vomiting, backache, and eye pain. Other symptoms associated with dengue include intense headache, arthralgia, and a generalized maculo-papular rash. Dengue fever is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito. Prevention of dengue fever may be achieved by routine use of an insect repellent containing 20 to 30% DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide) when visiting or residing in an endemic area along with sleeping indoors with screened windows or mosquito netting protection. The CDC Division of Vectorborne Infectious Diseases website has recommendations, news and updates for travelers and clinicians regarding dengue fever at http://www.cdc.gov/NCIDOD/DVBID/dengue. Persons planning travel to areas where dengue is endemic can check the CDC Traveler’s Health recommendations by accessing the website www.cdc.gov/travel. If a case of dengue fever is reported to the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH), further testing may be performed by the Center for Disease Control Dengue Branch (CDC) upon request by the Acute Disease Service (ADS). The diagnosis and treatment of dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever are guided by the symptoms and findings the patient presents, and cannot depend on laboratory confirmation, since routine tests can not confirm dengue with the speed required for patients in critical condition. Commercial laboratories are capable of testing for dengue. Confirmatory testing is performed only by the CDC using acute and convalesce blood samples. For unique circumstances, the OSDH ADS can arrange confirmatory testing at the CDC. 35 Source: WHO, International Travel and Health http://www.who.int/ith/en/ 36 Shiga Toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) 2010 Case Total 104 2010 Incidence Rate 2.82 per 100,000 2009 Case Total 64 2009 Incidence Rate 1.76 per 100,000 Nationally, E. coli O157:H7 is the most commonly reported serotype of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC); however, the number of reported non-O157 STEC cases each year is increasing.i This increase may be partially due to more widely used laboratory tests that identify other serotypes of STEC beyond O157:H7. The number of reported STEC cases reported in 2010 is a 63% increase from the 64 cases reported in 2009. This increase may be in part due to an outbreak involving a correctional facility described elsewhere in this publication. A seasonal trend was observed with the highest number of cases reported during the summer months of June and July (n = 44, 43%). STEC cases in 2010 occurred among residents of 30 Oklahoma counties. The five counties with the highest incidence rates were Noble (45.66 per 100,000, n = 5), Cotton (31.84 per 100,000, n = 2), Johnston (19.11 per 100,000, n = 2), Greer (17.15 per 100,000, n = 1), and Canadian (13.68 per 100,000, n = 15) counties. The highest incidence rate occurred among males less than five years of age with an incidence of 18.73 per 100,000 (n = 26). The second highest incidence rate occurred among females less than five years of age (8.27 per 100,000, n = 11).

Of the 104 cases, 87 (84%) were laboratory-confirmed STEC and 17 (16%) were epidemiologically-linked symptomatic contacts identified by the county health department communicable disease nurse during case investigations. 37 All suspected STEC isolates are required to be forwarded to the Oklahoma State Department of Health Public Health Laboratory (OSDH PHL) for confirmation and serogroup identification. In 2010, STEC isolates were forwarded to the OSDH PHL for all 87 confirmed cases. Of the 87 isolates, 41 (47%) were confirmed E. coli O157:H7 and 46 (53%) were STEC non-O157.

For purposes of epidemiologic description, ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis will be combined in this report. In 2010, the incidence rate (IR) of ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis in Oklahoma represented a 27% decrease from 2009. However, the decline in cases may have partially been affected by changes in investigation processes; the Acute Disease Service focused on investigating reports with serologic titers above 1:64. From 2001 to 2010, the median annual number of reported cases in Oklahoma was 73 (range, 13 to 147). Eastern Oklahoma had higher incidence rates corresponding with its higher tick population. The counties with the highest rates of disease in 2010 were Pushmataha county (25.40 per 100,000, n = 3), followed by Haskell county (24.21 per 100,000, n = 3). The majority of the cases occurred during the warmer months of the year, when tick exposure is more likely. Onsets of illness were elevated from May to August and peaked in June. Serologic testing is the most widely available and frequently used laboratory method for diagnosis. Both IgM and IgG antibody levels are used to confirm illness. Collection of acute (within a week of onset) and convalescent (2 to 4 weeks later) specimens are recommended for confirming the diagnosis. Treatment should be initiated before lab confirmation, when there is high suspicion of tickborne illness, to reduce the severity of disease. Doxycycline is the primary drug of choice for the treatment of ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis.i 39 Descriptive and Clinical Summary of Reported Ehrlichiosis and Anaplasmosis Cases, Oklahoma, 2010 (N = 107) Number (%) Incidence rate per 100,000 Gender Male Female 67 (63%) 40 (37%) 3.68 2.14 Age Median Age: 48 years (Range: 21 months – 82 years) Race White American Indian or Alaska Native Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander Two or More Races Unknown 60 (56%) 27 (25%) 1 (1%) 3 (3%) 16 (15%) 2.09 9.12 25.34 1.98 -- Hispanic or Latino Ethnicity Unknown 1 (1%) 40 (37%) 0.33 -- Disease Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis Human Granulocytic Anaplasmosis 98 (92%) 9 (8%) -- -- Symptoms Fever Headache Myalgia Rash 106 (99%) 68 (64%) 54 (50%) 28 (26%) -- -- -- -- Reported Exposures Wooded or tick infested area Tick bite 15 (14%) 40 (37%) -- -- Hospitalized due to Ehrlichiosis or Anaplasmosis 26 (24%) -- Died due to Ehrlichiosis or Anaplasmosis 0 (0%) -- Incidence Rate of Reported Ehrlichiosis and Anaplasmosis Cases by Year, Oklahoma and U.S., 2001-2010* 0 1 2 3 4 5 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 U.S. Oklahoma Incidence Rate per 100,000 Year *U.S. 2010 Rate Unavailable i Heymann, David L., Editor.

American Public Health Association, 2008 40 Gonorrhea 2010 Case Total 4,369 2010 Incidence Rate 116.5 per 100,000 2009 Case Total 4,661 2009 Incidence Rate 128.0 per 100,000 Gonorrhea is the second most prevalent sexually transmitted disease reported in Oklahoma after chlamydia. Gonorrhea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhea, a bacterium that can grow and multiply in warm, moist areas of the reproductive tract, mouth, throat, eyes, and anus. In women, gonorrhea can result in pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, cervicitis, and eventually infertility. Pregnant women infected with gonorrhea can also infect their unborn babies through the amniotic fluid or during birth. In men, this infection most often manifests as purulent urethral discharge and dysuria, and can cause infertility. Oklahoma mandated gonorrhea reporting in 1943, when 4,715 cases were reported. Reported gonorrhea cases increased until 1982 when numbers started to slowly drop following a national decline due to the implementation of a national gonorrhea control program in the mid-1970s. In 2010, a total of 4,369 cases were reported in Oklahoma, approximately a 6% decrease from 2009. Oklahoma had an incidence rate of 166.5 per 100,000 in 2010 with 57% of the reported cases being female. In 1989, men made up the majority of gonorrhea cases in the U.S., but since 2002 women have made up the majority of cases. Oklahoma has followed a similar trend. While Oklahoma County had the highest number of reported cases, Comanche County had the highest rate at 249.8 per 100,000, followed by Tulsa County (220.3 per 100,000) and Okmulgee County (217.1 per 100,000). Comanche County had a 35% rate increase between 2009 and 2010; however, Okmulgee County had a rate increase of 77.9% (122 per 100,000 to 217.1 per 100,000). Oklahoma County decreased by 15.9% and Tulsa County decreased by 9.7%. Gonorrhea occurs in all ages, but age groups 20 to 24 years (562 per 100,000) and 15 to 19 years (482.4 per 100,000) had the highest rates among all the age groups. Although most age groups had a rate decrease from 2009 to 2010, three age groups experienced an increase: 45 to 49 years at 6.2% increase, 25 to 29 years at 3.6% increase, and 30 to 34 years at 1% increase. Blacks had the highest rate among all racial groups with a rate of 882 per 100,000, 18.8 times higher when compared to Whites (47 per 100,000). American Indians/Alaska Natives had the second highest rate (102 per 100,000) which was 2.2 times higher than Whites. Asian/Pacific Islanders had a rate of 29 per 100,000 but represented only 20 cases in 2010, an 81.8% increase from 2009. Hispanics had a rate of 59 per 100,000 in 2010, which represents a 14.8% decrease from 2009. Whites had the highest increase in gonorrhea rate (10% increase from 2009), while American Indian/Alaska Natives had the largest decrease (9.9% decrease from 2009). 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Incidence Rate per 100,000 Year Incidence Rate of Reported Gonorrhea Cases, Oklahoma and U.S., 1998-2010* U.S Oklahoma *United States Data for 2010 was not available at the time of this report. 41 Gonorrhea Cases and Rates by Demographics for 2010, Oklahoma Number Percent Incidence Rate per 100,000 Gender* Male 1,873 42.9 % 102.8 Female 2,493 57.1 % 133.7 Unknown 3 <1 % - Age Groups (N = 4,368)* < 10 Years 8 <1 % 1.5 10 - 14 28 <1 % 11.6 15 - 19 1,239 28.4 % 482.4 20 - 24 1,578 36.1 % 562.0 25 - 29 823 18.8 % 299.7 30 - 34 377 8.6 % 163.7 35 - 39 135 3.1 % 59.0 40 - 44 82 1.9 % 36.7 45 - 49 57 1.3 % 22.0 > 50 Years 41 <1 % 3.5 Race American Indian/Alaska Native 327 7.5 % 101.7 Black/African American 2,450 56.1 % 882.4 White 1,262 28.9 % 46.6 Asian/Pacific Islander 20 <1 % 28.8 Two or more races 85 1.9 % N/A Other 30 <1 % N/A Unknown 195 4.5 % N/A Ethnicity Hispanic 197 4.5 % 59.3 *At the time of publication 2010 population data was not available; therefore, 2009 population data was used to calculate rates. 42 Haemophilus influenzae Invasive Disease 2010 Case Total 105 2010 Incidence Rate 2.85 per 100,000 2009 Case Total 92 2009 Incidence Rate 2.53 per 100,000 Invasive Haemophilus influenzae (H. flu) disease is a reportable condition in Oklahoma, and all H. flu sterile-site isolates are required to be submitted to the OSDH Public Health Laboratory (PHL) for confirmation and serotype identification. One hundred and five cases of invasive H. flu were reported to the OSDH during 2010 resulting in an incidence rate of 2.85 per 100,000 population, a 14.1% increase from 2009. H. flu isolates are serotyped based on the presence of a capsule (serotypes a through f) or absence of a capsule (non-typeable). Both capsulated and nonencapsulated isolates have the ability to cause severe disease. Of the 97 isolates (92% of reported cases) available for serotype identification by the PHL, 53 (54.6%) were non-typeable, 21 (21.6%) were serotype f, 9 (9.3%) were serotype a, 6 (6.2%) were serotype e, 4 (4.1%) were serotype d, and 4 (4.1%) were serotype b. Infection types of the cases included bacteremia/sepsis (97%, n = 102), meningitis (4%, n = 4), and pneumonia (59%, n = 62). Cases of invasive H. flu in 2010 ranged in age from 1 day to 93 years with a median age of 70 years. The highest age-specific incidence rates per 100,000 population occurred among persons 80 years and older (refer to graph). Fourteen (13%) cases occurred among children less than 5 years of age, an age-specific incidence rate of 5.15 per 100,000 population. The highest proportion of cases occurred during the winter months, with over half of reported cases (n = 55, 52%) occurring in January, February, November, and December. When a case of invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is identified, an active contact investigation commences to locate all close contacts less than 4 years of age, review vaccination history, and recommend antibiotic prophylaxis if needed. If any exposed children less than 4 years of age who are either unvaccinated or have not yet received the full primary series of the Hib vaccine are identified, then chemoprophylaxis is recommended to eradicate carriage of the organism. All four Hib cases reported in 2010 were over the age of 70 years. Investigations conducted by county health department public health nurses determined none of the close contacts were less than 4 years of age for three of the cases; therefore, post-exposure chemoprophylaxis was not recommended. Investigation of the fourth case revealed exposed contacts less than 4 years of age that had not yet received the full primary series of the Hib vaccine. During this investigation, OSDH recommended chemoprophylaxis to eradicate carriage of the organism to a total of 10 exposed close, personal contacts. No secondary cases occurred among cases reported during 2010.

In 2010, the incidence rate (IR) of HUS in Oklahoma represented a 35% decrease from 2009. HUS became a nationally notifiable disease in 2000 and since that time Oklahoma’s incidence rate has been similar to the national incidence. From 2001 to 2010, the median annual number of reported HUS cases in Oklahoma was 5 (range, 2 to 51), and the overall case fatality rate was 3%. In 2010, the highest IR occurred among persons less than 5 years of age (2.21 per 100,000, n = 6), followed by cases 5 to 9 years of age (1.18 per 100,000, n = 3), and 70 to 79 years of age (0.48 per 100,000, n = 1). The incidence of HUS in women (0.38 per 100,000, n = 7) was 1.7 times greater than in men (0.22 per 100,000, n = 4) but was not statistically significant. Cases occurred among residents of nine Oklahoma counties. The diagnosis of HUS is made through evaluation of a combination of laboratory test results. Anemia with microangiopathic changes shown on a peripheral blood smear was documented for eight (73%) of the cases. Of those with microangiopathic changes, schistocytes were most commonly seen (63%) compared to burr cells (38%) and helmet cells (25%), all non-exclusive. Hematuria was reported in 73% of cases; with proteinuria in 64% of cases. Additionally, elevated creatinine was documented for 82% of cases and thrombocytopenia in 91% of cases. An etiologic agent was identified in six (55%) of the 11 cases, which were E. coli O157:H7 (n = 5) and E. coli O121:H19 (n = 1) with results confirmed by the OSDH PHL.

The number of cases has been less than 20 per year since 2004. Of the six cases identified in 2010, none were associated with high-risk settings. One secondary case in a household member was identified through public health investigations. One case was hospitalized, and none of the cases expired. A total of 45 close contacts were investigated (median: 5, range: 1 – 18 per case). Of those, 18 did not have evidence of immunity through previous testing or history of vaccination, and therefore required post exposure prophylaxis (PEP). The county health departments provide PEP to those identified as close contacts to confirmed hepatitis A cases. In 2007, PEP guidelines were revised by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), limiting the use of immunoglobulin (IG) and expanding the use of the hepatitis A vaccine. For persons from 12 months to 40 years of age, the hepatitis A vaccine is now the preferred method of PEP. IG remains the recommended PEP for persons less than 12 months of age, greater than 40 years of age, and for those who are immunocompromised or who have chronic disease such as liver disease or other chronic medical conditions.i Incidence Rate of Reported Hepatitis A Cases by Year, Oklahoma and US, 1980-2010* 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 Oklahoma United States 2010 Target Statewide Vaccination Program Instituted, 1998 Incidence Rate per 100,000 *US rates unavailable for 2010 Year 46 Hepatitis A should be considered in unvaccinated persons with hallmark symptoms of jaundice, very dark urine and/or clay-colored stools (refer to table for symptoms reported by cases), particularly those with recent exposure to high-risk regions through travel or residence. One case (17%) reported international travel during their exposure period. A positive hepatitis A IgM titer indicates current infection, although false positive tests are common.ii Healthcare providers should restrict testing for hepatitis A to those clients with clinical evidence of acute hepatitis A infection. Liver function tests are usually markedly elevated in confirmed cases. Of the five cases with known liver function test results, the median alanine transaminase (ALT) was 589 (range: 135 – 1331), median aspartate aminotransferase (AST) of 435 (range: 202 – 1158), and median total bilirubin was 3.0 (range: 0.3 – 7.4). The hepatitis A vaccine is routinely recommended for individuals 2 years of age or older, and the two-dose regimen is required for entry into childcare or grade school in Oklahoma.

This is a 6% decrease in reported cases from 2009 to 2010. The OSDH supports adult vaccination for hepatitis B, and hepatitis A. Through the Adult Viral Hepatitis Program, the OSDH provides these vaccines at no cost to high risk individuals in the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, county health department sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics, and two metro area medical clinics for the homeless - one in Oklahoma City and one in Tulsa. Adult immunizations coupled with prevention education are key components to decreasing hepatitis B infections. Sixty-five of the 115 acute hepatitis B cases (57%) were males; fifty (43%) were female. Racial breakdown is as follows: 81 Whites (3.1 per 100,000), 19 American Indians and Alaska Natives (6.7 per 100,000), nine Black or African Americans (3.1 per 100,000), one Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander (31.8 per 100,000) and five cases were reported as unknown race. The CDC reports, in the Sexually Transmitted Diseases Treatment Guidelines 2010, the primary risk factors associated with hepatitis B infection among adolescents and adults are unprotected sex with an infected partner, unprotected sex with more than one partner, men who have sex with other men (MSM), a history of other STDs, and illegal injection-drug usei. Forty-nine (43%) of the total number of acute cases reported a risk factor of 2 or more sexual partners. Twenty-six of these 49 respondents reported having more than five sexual partners. Perinatal Hepatitis B 2010 Case Total 83 2009 Case Total 95 The Perinatal Hepatitis B Program identified 83 babies born to hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) positive women in Oklahoma in 2010. This number is a slight decrease (13%) from 2009. The CDC recommends that infants born to HbsAg positive women be given hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) and hepatitis B vaccine within 12 hours of birth. Seventy (85.4%) of the babies born in Oklahoma hospitals received both injections within 12 hours, seventy-five (91.5%) received both injections within 24 hours and seventy-seven (93.9%) received both injections within 48 hours of birth. Fifty-two (63.4%) of the infants had received HBIG and all three hepatitis B vaccines by 12 months of age. The ages of the women who were hepatitis B surface antigen positive and who delivered infants ranged from 17 years to 41years. Forty-seven (57%) of delivering women were between 20 and 30 years of age. Thirty-two (39%) were between 30 and 40 years of age, and four (5%) percent were under 20 years of age. i Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The acute form is a short-term illness that occurs within the first six months after a person is exposed to the hepatitis C virus (HCV) which causes hepatitis C infection. However, the disease can become chronic, and people who received a blood transfusion before 1992 or are past or current injection-drug users are at risk for chronic hepatitis C, and should be screened for the disease. Chronic HCV infection progresses slowly over the course of 15-30 years and can lead to cirrhosis of the liver or liver cancer. Eight to ten thousand deaths occur annually in the United States as a result of chronic HCV infection. In 2010, confirmed cases of acute hepatitis C in Oklahoma reflected a 52% increase from 2009. Based on the most current national data, Oklahoma’s case rate (1.1 per 100,000) continues to be above the national rate (0.3 per 100,000) for confirmed cases of acute hepatitis C. Tulsa County had the highest number of cases of acute hepatitis C in 2010 with nine cases (22%). The highest incidence rate occurred in Pawnee county with 12.18 cases per 100,000 (n = 2), followed by Haskell county with 8.07 per 100,000 (n = 1) and Okmulgee county with 7.64 per 100,000 (n = 3). Cases of acute hepatitis C ranged in age from 18 years to 74 years. The highest number of cases, 20 (49%), occurred in the 25 - 34 year age group. Age groups of the remaining cases were as follows: four (9%) 15 to 24 years, ten (24%) 35 to 44 years, five (12%) 45 to 54 years, one (2%) 55 to 64 years, and one (2%) 65 to 74 years. There were 22 females (54%) and 19 males (46%) infected with confirmed acute hepatitis C. The confirmed acute hepatitis C cases broken down by race occurred in: Whites (0.9 per 100,000, n = 27), Native Americans (3.7 per 100,000, n = 11), Black/African American (0.3 pr 100,000, n = 1) and unknown race (n = 2). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that “of the cases reported in 2007 for which information con-cerning exposures during the incubation period was available, the most common risk factor identified was IDU [injection drug use] (48%). During 1998–2007, IDU was reported for an average of 44% of persons (range: 38%– 54%)”.ii In 2010, the risk factors most frequently reported in Oklahoma were: IDU (56%), other drug use besides IDU (54%), tattoos (56%), and 2 or more sexual partners (56%). Nineteen (46%) of the cases reported both IDU and other drug use. Ten (24%) of the cases reported all four of the listed risk factors. i Title 310. Oklahoma State Department of Health, Chapter 515.

AIDS is the result of an HIV infection and is the most advanced stage of HIV, resulting in severe damage to the immune system. HIV progressively reduces the immune system by destroying specific blood cells, called CD4 positive T-lymphocytes (CD4+ T-cells) and leaves individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections. HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen (including pre-seminal fluid), vaginal fluid, and breast milk. The most common activities which place a person at risk are sexual intercourse (oral, anal, or vaginal), sharing of needles or syringes, or exposure from mother to baby before or during birth or through breast feeding. AIDS is defined as having HIV with fewer than 200 CD4+ T-cells per cubic milliliter of blood (or less than 14%), and/or any at least one clinical opportunistic infection. People living with HIV may appear and feel healthy for years; however, HIV is still affecting their bodies. Although treatments for AIDS and HIV can slow the course of the disease, there is no known cure or vaccine. Antiretroviral treatment reduces both the mortality and the morbidity of HIV infection. Currently, people can live much longer, even decades, with HIV before they develop AIDS. AIDS was first recognized by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1981 and its cause, HIV, identified in the early 1980s. AIDS became reportable in Oklahoma in 1983 and HIV infection in 1988. In Oklahoma, two cases of AIDS were first diagnosed in 1982 and two cases of HIV in 1984. By the end of 2010, an estimated 8,462 cases of HIV/AIDS had been diagnosed among residents of Oklahoma. A breakdown of the 8,462 HIV/AIDS cases shows 5,449 AIDS cases and 3,013 HIV cases. Of those diagnoses, 49 were perinatal infections (mother to baby transmission). The race breakdown for the above cases is as follows: 5,441 (64.4%) in Whites, 1,794 (21.2%) in Blacks, 504 (6.0%) in Hispanics, 46 (0.5%) in Asian/Hawaiian Pacific Islanders and 536 (6.3%) in American Indian/Alaskan Natives. Persons who reported belonging to two or more races had 141 (1.7%) cases diagnosed. The ratio of male to female diagnoses was 17:3 (n = 7,216, 85.3% to 1,246, 14.7%). Men having sex with men (MSM) accounted for 4,507 (53.3%) cases, and those MSM who also reported using illegal drugs (MSM/IDU) accounted for 894 (10.6%) cases. Approximately 11% (n = 962 cases) reported their risk as injection drug use (IDU). Similarly, 11.2% (n = 951) of persons reported exposure through heterosexual sex with someone with HIV. Among the age groups, 30 to 39 years of age (n = 3,213, 38.0%) accounted for the largest group of cases, followed by 20 to 29 years of age (n = 2,652, 31.3%). Teenagers (13 to 19 years of age) accounted for almost 3% (n = 224; 2.7%) of the cumulative HIV/AIDS cases, while children under 13 years of age reported less than 1% (n = 70, 0.8%) of the infections. At the end of 2010, an estimated 4,908 cases were living with HIV/AIDS (HIV: n = 2,552, 52.0%; AIDS: n = 2,356, 48.0%). 2010 Summary In 2010, 300 cases (HIV, 208; AIDS, 92) of HIV/AIDS cases were diagnosed. This resulted in a 16% decrease in the number of cases diagnosed in 2010 compared to 2009. From 2006 to 2010, 1,699 cases of HIV/AIDS have been diagnosed at an average of 340 cases per year, an average of 9.2 cases per 100,000 population. There has been a downward trend of AIDS only from 188 cases in 2006 to 92 cases in 2010; however, the opposite is true for newly diagnosed HIV (not AIDS) cases. In 2006, there were a total of 157 and in 2010 the total was 208. Of the 26 deaths in 2010, seven were diagnosed and died in the same year, and 19 of the deaths were diagnoses from previous years. Three counties in Oklahoma, Oklahoma (n = 85, 27.7%), Tulsa (n = 69, 23.0%), and Cleveland (n = 34, 11.3%), account for the majority (62.0%) of the newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS cases. 50 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Number of cases Year of Diagnosis HIV/AIDS Cases Diagnosed in Oklahoma by Year, 2001 ‐ 2010 HIV cases AIDS cases Deaths* HIV/AIDS *Deaths are irrespective of date of diagnosis Among age groups, 20 to 29 year olds accounted for 35.0% (n = 105), 30 to 39 year olds accounted for 25.7% (n = 77), 40 to 49 year olds accounted for 22.0% (n = 66), and 50 to 59 year olds accounted for 10.0% (n = 30). Teenagers (13 to 19 years of age) accounted for 3.0% (n = 9). Of the 300 cases diagnosed in 2010, males represented 249 cases with a rate of 13.7 per 100,000 population, while females reported 51 cases with a rate of 2.7 per 100,000 population. Among race and ethnic groups, Blacks or African Americans (n = 105, 35%) had a rate of 34.4 cases per 100,000 population, Whites (n = 138, 46%) had a rate of 5.1 cases per 100,000 population, Hispanics (n = 24, 8%) had a rate of 8.0 cases per 100,000 population and American Indians /Alaskan Natives (n = 21, 7%) had at a rate of 6.6 cases per 100,000 per population. Of the 300 newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS cases, MSM accounted for 52.0% (n = 156), MSM/IDU accounted for 8.3% (n = 25), heterosexual sex accounted for 10.7% (n = 32), and IDU only accounted for almost 5% (n = 14, 4.7%). Approximately 3% (n = 38, 2.7%) of those diagnosed in 2010, did not report their risk. 51 Legionellosis 2010 Case Total 15 2010 Incidence Rate 0.41 per 100,000 2009 Case Total 10 2009 Incidence Rate 0.27 per 100,000 The number of legionellosis cases reported in 2010 is a 50% increase from the 10 cases reported in 2009. Since 2000, the annual incidence rate of legionellosis has ranged from 0.14 to 0.41 per 100,000 population with the exception of 2004 when the incidence rate was 0.70 per 100,000 population due to an outbreak. In 2010, lab tests were performed via bronchial culture (7%), sputum culture (7%), and urine antigen testing (87%). No outbreaks of legionellosis were identified in Oklahoma during 2010. During 2010, cases of legionellosis occurred among residents of ten Oklahoma counties and were spread geographically across all regions of the state except the northwest region. The highest incidence rate occurred among cases 45 to 49 years of age (IR = 1.93, n = 5) followed by cases 70 to 74 years of age (IR = 1.74, n = 2) and 65 to 69 years of age (IR = 1.34, n = 2). Of the cases reported in 2010, 1 (7%) reported travel outside of the state during the incubation period of their illness, and 2 (13%) reported exposure to a respiratory device filled with tap water such as a nebulizer or humidifier. Prevention of legionellosis is based upon proper maintenance of heating, cooling and plumbing systems. Special attention should also be given to hot tubs and whirlpool baths to keep them free of Legionella bacteria.

Although most listeriosis infections involve mild illnesses not requiring medical care, Listeria is responsible for approximately 1,591 of the estimated 9.4 million foodborne illnesses and an estimated 257 deaths per year in the U.S.i Pregnant women are about 20 times more likely than healthy adults to acquire the disease. In pregnancy, the infection can be passed to the fetus and in some cases cause premature delivery, infection of the newborn, or stillbirth. Newborns, rather than the mothers, experience the serious effects of infection during pregnancy; the case-fatality rate is 20 to 30% in infants born alive and the occurrence of abortion and stillbirth increases the overall mortality rate to more than 50%.ii Other specific groups at increased risk include persons with weakened immune systems such as those with cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, AIDS, those who take glucocorticosteroid medications, and individuals older than 60 years. In Oklahoma, 9 cases of listeriosis were reported to OSDH resulting in an incidence rate that was higher than the previous five year average (2005 through 2009) incidence rate of 0.15 per 100,000 population. Listeria was isolated from blood for seven cases (78%), from cerebrospinal fluid for one case (11%), and from placenta for one case (11%). All nine cases were hospitalized and two (22%) cases died due to Listeria sepsis. The case ages ranged from 1 day to 77 years and all nine cases were female. Seven (78%) of the cases were White, one was Asian (11%), and one (11%) race was unknown. Two (25%) of the eight cases were Hispanic. Five cases (56%) reported consuming soft cheeses and four cases (44%) reported consuming ready-to-eat deli meats. Six (67%) cases were over the age of 60 and two of the six had a history of underlying medical conditions that compromised their immune system. Two (22%) cases were pregnant at the time of illness. Most cases of listeriosis are sporadic; however, outbreaks due to consumption of contaminated food have been identified. Prompt reporting of cases can help in the early detection of an outbreak, identification of the sources of infection, and prevention of additional cases. The Communicable Disease Reporting Rules (OAC 310: Chapter 515) require that Listeria isolates grown from sterile sites (e.g. blood, cerebrospinal fl

The information contained in this report consolidates summaries of communicable disease surveillance and investigations conducted by the OSDH during 2010. Communicable disease summaries were written by personnel in the OSDH Acute Disease Service, HIV/STD Service, and the Public Health Laboratory. Specifically, the annual summary contains information on the number and incidence rate of infectious disease reports at the state and county level, disease specific data collected during public health investigations, and summaries of program activities. Title 63 Oklahoma Statute §1-503 as well as Oklahoma Administrative Code (OAC) Title 310, Chapter 515 require that healthcare providers and laboratories report cases of certain communicable diseases to the OSDH. This allows the surveillance, investigation, and control of the spread of disease in the population by public health personnel. A list of the Oklahoma notifiable disease rules is included in this annual summary for your reference. The diseases listed in the Oklahoma disease reporting rules must be reported, along with patient identifiers, demographics, and contact information, to the OSDH upon discovery as dictated in sections OAC 310:515-1-3 and OAC 310:515-1-4. The current “Oklahoma Disease Reporting Manual” is the standard reference for disease-specific diagnostic test results to be reported. The current edition of the "Oklahoma Disease Reporting Manual" and additional disease reporting resources may be accessed from the Acute Disease Service disease reporting web page of the OSDH web site at http://IDReportingAndAlerts.health.ok.gov. Several service areas of the OSDH as well as the county health departments are charged with surveillance, investigation, and control of spread of communicable diseases. Summarized below are a few notable observations regarding the epidemiology of communicable diseases in Oklahoma reported during 2010. In 2010, 199 cases of pertussis were reported, a 70% increase from the 117 cases reported in 2009. In addition to the increase from 2009, pertussis cases were the highest they have been since 1985 when 209 cases were reported. Several local community increases were observed in different parts of the state contributing to the larger number of cases for the state. Ten cases were reported in Pittsburg county residents leading to an incidence rate (IR) approximately four times the state’s rate (21.8 per 100,000). Additionally, Tulsa county saw an increase in cases beginning mid fall and continuing through the end of the year, giving the county a total of 88 cases with an incidence rate almost three times the state’s rate (14.6 per 100,000). Pertussis occurs in persons of all ages, but disproportionately affects children less than one year of age. Nearly half of all cases in 2010 were in children less than five years of age, with 28% in infants less than one year of age (IR = 100.6 per 100,000) and followed by 20% in children one to four years of age (IR = 18.0 per 100,000). Forty-seven percent of infants less than one year of age were hospitalized compared to 3.5% of all other ages. Public health efforts of timely case diagnosis, contact investigation, administration of therapy, prevention, and education, have resulted in a steady decline of tuberculosis (TB) in Oklahoma. The incidence rate of TB has declined 52% from 178 (5.2 per 100,000) cases in 2004 to 86 (2.3 per 100,000) cases in 2010. Racial disparities continued to occur among reported TB cases. In particular, the highest rates of reported TB cases occurred among persons who reported their race as Asian (22.3 per 100,000), American Indian/Alaska Natives (4.7 per 100,000), and Black (3.4 per 100,000) compared to persons who reported their race as White (1.1 per 100,000). Foreign born individual accounted for 27% of reported TB cases in Oklahoma. Prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment are paramount to successful tuberculosis control. TB should be considered in the differential diagnosis of persons presenting with a productive cough, bloody sputum, fevers, and/or unexplained weight loss. Early suspicion and testing are of utmost importance. In March 2010, the OSDH rapidly responded to an outbreak of invasive meningococcal disease in a rural school district in Northeastern Oklahoma. Five cases of invasive meningococcal disease were identified during this investigation, including two deaths. Exposed contacts were rapidly identified and recommended to receive antibiotic prophylaxis. During standard investigations of sporadic cases, individuals recommended to receive antibiotic prophylaxis are referred to their private health provider for medication. Because of the magnitude of this outbreak, epidemiologists in the Acute Disease Service and the local county health department (Rogers CHD) immediately conducted clinics at the school to administer chemoprophylaxis to exposed individuals to prevent subsequent cases. A total of 941 individuals were prophylaxed during these clinics. Laboratory testing subsequently identified serogroup C as the causative serogroup and molecular subtyping of isolates revealed all outbreak-associated cases had an indistinguishable pulsed-field gel electrophoresis pattern, which suggested a common exposure among all cases. Based upon meningococcal outbreak control guidance and the recommendation to provide meningococcal vaccine in which cases are due to serogroups included in the vaccine, a mass immunization clinic was held at the school to administer meningococcal vaccine for future protection. Vaccination clinics that targeted students pre-K through seniors, as well as faculty and employees, were conducted by Immunization Service and the Rogers CHD; 1,486 persons received the vaccine. Significant racial and age disparities continue among reported sexually transmitted diseases. In particular, the highest rates of reported HIV/AIDS, chlamydia and gonorrhea cases occurred among African Americans. In 2010, the incidence rate of reported gonorrhea cases was 18.8 times higher among African Americans compared to the incidence rate among Whites. Similarly, the incidence rate of reported chlamydia cases among African Americans was 6.4 times higher than among Whites. The highest age-specific incidence rates of reported chlamydia and gonorrhea cases occurred among young adults 15 to 19 years of age and 20 to 24 years of age. The OSDH Public Health Laboratory continues to perform serogroup identification and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), a molecular method of DNA fingerprinting, on all submitted Salmonella isolates. PFGE subtyping complements disease surveillance by detecting clusters of indistinguishable PFGE patterns among isolates of Oklahoma cases as well as patterns identified by other state public health laboratories. Once clusters are detected, public health officials rapidly investigate to identify a common source and coordinate with food regulatory agencies to initiate product recalls when indicated, which prevents the continued occurrence of illness among persons who may consume the implicated products. In 2010, two multistate outbreaks of salmonellosis involving Oklahoma residents were investigated to determine a potential source of infection. One was a multistate outbreak of S. Chester associated with consumption of single-serve frozen entrées; 44 cases from 18 states were identified in this outbreak, including one Oklahoma case. Another multistate outbreak involving Oklahoma residents was due to S. Enteritidis; approximately 1,939 cases nationwide were associated with this outbreak, including 7 from Oklahoma. An epidemiologic investigation conducted by state public health officials and CDC determined consumption of shell eggs was associated with development of illness. Results from the public health investigation prompted a traceback investigation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to determine the common source of these shell eggs. The affected eggs were then recalled, and recommendations for safe food handling were provided to egg producers, retail and food establishments, and the public. It is part of our continuing efforts to return useful information to you from the data you have reported to us. Use of this summary should give you a better idea of the incidence of reportable infectious diseases in your community and epidemiologic trends of infectious diseases in the state of Oklahoma. Additional summaries of reportable diseases in Oklahoma and resources on disease reporting are available on the OSDH website at http://www.ok.gov/health.

Purpose The rules in this Chapter implement the Communicable Diseases Reporting Regulations, 63 O.S. 1981, § 1-503. 310:515-1-1.1. Definitions When used in this Chapter, the following words or terms shall have the following meaning unless the context of the sentence requires another meaning: "AIDS" means Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. "Anti-HAV-IgM+" means a positive test result for the hepatitis A virus immunglobulin M antibody. "Anti-HBc-IgM+" means a positive test result for the hepatitis B core immunglobulin M antibody. "CD4" means cluster of differentiation 4 glycoprotein that serves as a receptor for HIV on T helper cells. "Department" or "OSDH" means the Oklahoma State Department of Health. "E. coli" means Escherichia coli. "EIA" means enzyme immunoassay. "HBeAg+" means a positive test result for the hepatitis B "e" antigen. "HBsAg+" means a positive test result for the hepatitis B surface antigen. "HBV DNA+" means a positive test result for deoxyribonucleic acid of the hepatitis B virus. "HIV" means Human Immunodeficiency Virus. "PHIDDO" or "PHIDDO system" means Public Health Investigation and Disease Detection of Oklahoma system. "NAT for HCV RNA+" means a nucleic acid amplification test with a positive test result for hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid. "Outbreak of disease" means two or more cases residing in different households that have a similar clinical syndrome of a potentially infectious disease, toxin, or agent of known or unknown etiology. "RIBA" means recombinant immunoblot assay. "S/co" means the signal-to-cut-off-ratio. "Spp." is an abbreviation referring to the term "species," and is used to broaden the anteceding term in order to include all organisms that may be found or described within a given genus. "Unusual disease or syndrome" means a case of an uncommon, possibly infectious disease of known or unknown etiology, even if laboratory testing may be pending or inconclusive, or if testing for common etiologies is negative. Such cases of disease may not normally be endemic to Oklahoma, may be an emerging or re-emerging disease, and/or represent diseases for which a public health intervention may be needed. Examples of such unusual diseases or syndromes include but are not limited to, unexplained adult respiratory distress syndrome, rash illness with atypical presentation, or an illness occurring along with an unusual pattern of illness or death among animals.

For disease classification purposes, the broadest categories of the disease include foodborne botulism, infant botulism, and wound botulism. In 2009, the US had 118 cases of botulism, 10 were categorized as foodborne botulism, 83 were infant botulism, and 25 were either wound botulism or an unspecified category of botulism. In 2010, Oklahoma had two cases of infant botulism. This report summarizes the clinical and laboratory results of both cases. C. botulinum is ubiquitous in the environment and rarely causes disease when ingested by healthy adults. In infants, ingested spores may multiply in the intestinal lumen and produce toxin, causing neurological illnessi. In the last several years, colonization with C. botulinum in adults has also been recognized as a rare clinical entity. Infant botulism has been epidemiologically linked to the consumption of honey, although approximately 85% of infected infants did not ingest honey prior to illness. Some studies suggest that as many as 5% of SIDS deaths are caused by infant botulismii. The two Oklahoma cases experienced symptoms of weak/altered cry, diminished suckling, hypotonia, and poor feeding. One case also experienced symptoms of paralysis and constipation. Initial tests performed to rule out other diagnoses were a CT scan, lumbar puncture, and stool cultures. Due to the cases clinical presentation and rule out testing of other diagnoses, BabyBIG® (Botulism Immune Globulin Intravenous [Human]) was released by the Infant Botulism Treatment and Prevention Program from the California Department of Health. Stool specimens were sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for C. botulinum testing. Clostridium botulinum toxin was identified in the stool of both cases. Laboratory testing identified C. botulinum toxin type A in one case and C. botulinum toxin type B was identified in the other case’s clinical specimen. Investigations conducted by the Acute Disease Service (ADS) did not identify a potential source, such as consumption of honey, for either case. Prior to 2010, the last infant botulism cases reported in Oklahoma occurred during 2001 and 2005. Botulism is an immediately notifiable condition in Oklahoma. Clinicians should contact the ADS Epidemiologist-on-Call (available 24/7/365 for disease reporting and consultation) immediately if botulism is suspected based on clinical impression. The ADS Epi-on-Call will work with the clinician and the CDC to coordinate antitoxin or BabyBIG® release and clinical specimen collection for laboratory testing. The decision to release antitoxin and BabyBIG® are based on symptoms consistent with botulism and initial tests that rule out other potential diagnoses such as LP, brain CT or MRI, edrophonium challenge test, physical exam for ticks, chest x-ray, and EMG. If given before paralysis is complete, antitoxin can prevent worsening of the patient’s illness and shorten recovery time. The decision to release antitoxin cannot depend on laboratory confirmation since routine tests cannot confirm C. botulinum with the speed required for initiating antitoxin as early as possible during the course of illness. The mouse bioassay is used by the CDC to test for C. botulinum. The Oklahoma State Department of Health Public Health Lab does not perform C. botulinum testing. The CDC will only perform C. botulinum testing if the patient’s symptoms are consistent with botulism or if the antitoxin has been released. Preferred specimens for botulism testing are serum, feces, vomitus, or gastric contents. Serum should be collected before antitoxin treatment is given. Preferred specimens for infant botulism testing are stool or rectal swab. For wound botulism, the preferred specimens are serum, tissue, or feces.

Beginning in October 2009, reported cases of campylobacteriosis are counted rather than investigated by county health department communicable disease nurses. The number of cases reported in 2010 is a 17% increase from the 384 cases reported in 2009. A seasonal trend for campylobacteriosis was seen with more cases occurring during the months of June through August (n = 192, 43%). The highest incidence rate (IR) by age group occurred among cases less than five years of age (29.79 per 100,000, n = 81), followed by cases 5 to 9 years of age (13.37 per 100,000, n = 34), and cases 60 to 69 years of age (12.90 per 100,000, n = 44). Although the IR of campylobacteriosis is 25% greater among men (13.56 per 100,000, n = 247) than women (10.78 per 100,000, n = 201), the difference is not statistically significant. No outbreaks of campylobacteriosis were reported in 2010. Cases of campylobacteriosis were reported from 67 counties in Oklahoma. The highest IR of cases occurred among residents of Cimarron County (76.05 per 100,000; n = 2). Other counties with high rates included Harper County (59.22 per 100,000; n = 2), Alfalfa County (54.73 per 100,000; n = 3), and Jackson County (47.30 per 100,000; n = 12). Population size can affect incidence rates, consequently the higher rates seen in counties with smaller population. The largest counties had the highest numbers of cases: Oklahoma had 69 cases (9.6 per 100,000) followed by Tulsa with 53 cases (8.78 per 100,000). Eighteen cases (4%) were hospitalized for campylobacteriosis; there were no deaths due to this disease in 2010. The OSDH PHL received 69 isolates to confirm Campylobacter and serogroup identification, representing 15% of the reported cases. Of these isolates, 83% were identified as C. jejuni, 7% as C. jejuni var. doylei, and 10% as C. coli.

Caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, it is the most prevalent STD in Oklahoma accounting for 76% of reported STDs in the state for 2010. Although symptoms of chlamydia are usually mild or absent, serious complications that cause irreversible damage can develop “silently” before a patient ever recognizes a problem. In women, chlamydia can cause pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, chronic pain, and/or infertility. However, up to 70% of women with chlamydia are asymptomatic. In addition, a pregnant woman infected with chlamydia can transmit the infection to her baby’s eyes during a vaginal birth. The resulting ophthalmic infection can ultimately result in the infant’s blindness. Men infected with chlamydia may have penile discharge while about 1% to 25% of men infected are asymptomatic. Possible complications of male infections include epididymitis, infertility, and Reiter Syndrome (reactive arthritis). In men, receptive anal intercourse may result in chlamydial proctitis. Oklahoma mandated chlamydia reporting in 1988, when 2,714 cases were reported. In 2010, a total of 14,302 cases were reported. The rate of chlamydia in Oklahoma decreased 4.6% between 2009 and 2010. Oklahoma had an incidence rate of 381.2 per 100,000 in 2010 with 72% of the reported cases being female. Women go to the doctor more frequently than men due to yearly exams and pregnancy; this could account for some of the huge gap in the gender of reported chlamydia cases. While Oklahoma county had the highest number of reported cases, Comanche county had the highest rate at 963.8 per 100,000, followed by Tulsa county (521.4 per 100,000) and Oklahoma county (483.9 per 100,000). Comanche county had a 15.9% increase between 2009 and 2010, while Oklahoma and Tulsa counties’ rates decreased. Chlamydia occurs in all ages, but age groups 15 to 19 years (1,936.6 per 100,000) and 20 to 24 years (2,031.8 per 100,000) had the highest rates among all the age groups. Age group 45 to 49 years had the highest rate increase at 23.6 per 100,000, 19.6% higher than 2009 (51 to 61 cases, respectively). Blacks had the highest rate among all racial groups with a rate of 1,594.5 per 100,000, 6.4 times higher when compared to Whites (249.9 per 100,000). Native Americans had the second highest rate (499.6 per 100,000) which was 1.9 times higher than Whites. Asian/Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders had a rate of 227.5 per 100,000. Hispanics had a rate of 415.1 per 100,000 in 2010, which represents a 7.4% decrease from 2009. 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Incidence Rate per 100,000 Year Chlamydia Incidence Rates per 100,000 Population, Oklahoma and U.S., 1997-2010* U.S Oklahoma *U.S. Data for 2010 not available at the time of this report. 32 Chlamydia Cases and Rates by Demographics for 2010, Oklahoma Number Percent Incidence Rate per 100,000 Male Gender (N = 14,302)* 3,9 97 27.9 % 219 .4 Female 10,297 72.0 % 552.1 Unknown 8 <1.0 % * < 10A Ygeea rGsr oups (N = 14,302)* 2 2 <1.0 % 4. 2 10 - 14 129 <1.0 % 53.4 15 - 19 4,974 34.8 % 1,936.6 20 - 24 5,705 39.9 % 2,031.8 25 - 29 2,127 14.9 % 774.5 30 - 34 821 5.7 % 356.4 35 - 39 302 2.1 % 132.1 40 - 44 114 <1.0 % 51.0 45 - 49 61 <1.0 % 23.6 > 50 Years 47 <1.0 % 4.0 AmericanR aIncdeia (nN/ A=l a1s4k,a3 0N2a) tive 1,6 07 11.2 % 499 .6 Asian/Pacific Islander 158 1.1 % 227.5 Black/African American 4,427 30.9 % 1,594.5 White 6,764 47.3 % 249.9 Multiple Race 263 1.8 % 173.9 Other 150 1.1 % 97.1 Unknown 933 6.5 % * HispaniEct hnicity (N = 1,253) 1,2 53 8.8 % 415 .1 *At the time of publication 2010 population data was not available; therefore, 2009 population data was used to calculate rates. 33 Cryptosporidiosis 2010 Case Total 122 2010 Incidence Rate 3.3 per 100,000 2009 Case Total 141 2009 Incidence Rate 3.9 per 100,000 The number of cryptosporidiosis cases reported in Oklahoma during 2010 was a 13.5% decrease compared to the 141 cases reported during 2009. Of the 122 reported cases, 93 (76%) were laboratory-confirmed cases of cryptosporidiosis and 29 (24%) were symptomatic exposed contacts to a confirmed case identified during public health investigations conducted by county health department communicable disease nurses. No outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis were reported in Oklahoma during 2010. The highest incidence rate of cryptosporidiosis occurred in persons under 10 years of age (5.5 per 100,000 population). Twelve (10%) cases reported working in or attending a child care setting. Twelve (10%) cases reported out-of-state travel and 9 (7%) reported international travel to various countries including Mexico, Ethiopia, Morocco, and Costa Rica. A seasonal trend was observed in 2010 with the majority of cases (60%) reporting onset of symptoms from June through September. The highest incidence rates of cryptosporidiosis occurred among residents of Carter (33.1 per 100,000 population), Johnston (28.7 per 100,000 population), and Ellis Counties (32.8 per 100,000 population). Regular handwashing with soap and water, whether you are ill or well, is the single most important thing you can do to prevent cryptosporidiosis and other diarrheal illnesses.

Cases of dengue fever are generally acquired outside of the US (imported or travel-associated), but non-imported cases have been identified in Hawaii in 2001, Texas in 2005, and Florida in 2009 and 2010. Most dengue cases in U.S. citizens occur in endemic areas, such as, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Samoa, and Guam. In Oklahoma, all dengue fever cases reported in 2010 were imported. Two cases reported visiting the Caribbean, one case visited Central American, and one case visited Southeast Asia during the incubation period. Only one case was hospitalized for this illness. All four cases reported being bitten by mosquitoes. Only one of the cases reported using mosquito repellant/prevention methods. The cases’ ages ranged from 12 to 23 years. All four cases reported fever and myalgia. Three of the cases reported chills and anorexia and two cases reported rash, vomiting, backache, and eye pain. Other symptoms associated with dengue include intense headache, arthralgia, and a generalized maculo-papular rash. Dengue fever is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito. Prevention of dengue fever may be achieved by routine use of an insect repellent containing 20 to 30% DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide) when visiting or residing in an endemic area along with sleeping indoors with screened windows or mosquito netting protection. The CDC Division of Vectorborne Infectious Diseases website has recommendations, news and updates for travelers and clinicians regarding dengue fever at http://www.cdc.gov/NCIDOD/DVBID/dengue. Persons planning travel to areas where dengue is endemic can check the CDC Traveler’s Health recommendations by accessing the website www.cdc.gov/travel. If a case of dengue fever is reported to the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH), further testing may be performed by the Center for Disease Control Dengue Branch (CDC) upon request by the Acute Disease Service (ADS). The diagnosis and treatment of dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever are guided by the symptoms and findings the patient presents, and cannot depend on laboratory confirmation, since routine tests can not confirm dengue with the speed required for patients in critical condition. Commercial laboratories are capable of testing for dengue. Confirmatory testing is performed only by the CDC using acute and convalesce blood samples. For unique circumstances, the OSDH ADS can arrange confirmatory testing at the CDC. 35 Source: WHO, International Travel and Health http://www.who.int/ith/en/ 36 Shiga Toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) 2010 Case Total 104 2010 Incidence Rate 2.82 per 100,000 2009 Case Total 64 2009 Incidence Rate 1.76 per 100,000 Nationally, E. coli O157:H7 is the most commonly reported serotype of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC); however, the number of reported non-O157 STEC cases each year is increasing.i This increase may be partially due to more widely used laboratory tests that identify other serotypes of STEC beyond O157:H7. The number of reported STEC cases reported in 2010 is a 63% increase from the 64 cases reported in 2009. This increase may be in part due to an outbreak involving a correctional facility described elsewhere in this publication. A seasonal trend was observed with the highest number of cases reported during the summer months of June and July (n = 44, 43%). STEC cases in 2010 occurred among residents of 30 Oklahoma counties. The five counties with the highest incidence rates were Noble (45.66 per 100,000, n = 5), Cotton (31.84 per 100,000, n = 2), Johnston (19.11 per 100,000, n = 2), Greer (17.15 per 100,000, n = 1), and Canadian (13.68 per 100,000, n = 15) counties. The highest incidence rate occurred among males less than five years of age with an incidence of 18.73 per 100,000 (n = 26). The second highest incidence rate occurred among females less than five years of age (8.27 per 100,000, n = 11).

Of the 104 cases, 87 (84%) were laboratory-confirmed STEC and 17 (16%) were epidemiologically-linked symptomatic contacts identified by the county health department communicable disease nurse during case investigations. 37 All suspected STEC isolates are required to be forwarded to the Oklahoma State Department of Health Public Health Laboratory (OSDH PHL) for confirmation and serogroup identification. In 2010, STEC isolates were forwarded to the OSDH PHL for all 87 confirmed cases. Of the 87 isolates, 41 (47%) were confirmed E. coli O157:H7 and 46 (53%) were STEC non-O157.

For purposes of epidemiologic description, ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis will be combined in this report. In 2010, the incidence rate (IR) of ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis in Oklahoma represented a 27% decrease from 2009. However, the decline in cases may have partially been affected by changes in investigation processes; the Acute Disease Service focused on investigating reports with serologic titers above 1:64. From 2001 to 2010, the median annual number of reported cases in Oklahoma was 73 (range, 13 to 147). Eastern Oklahoma had higher incidence rates corresponding with its higher tick population. The counties with the highest rates of disease in 2010 were Pushmataha county (25.40 per 100,000, n = 3), followed by Haskell county (24.21 per 100,000, n = 3). The majority of the cases occurred during the warmer months of the year, when tick exposure is more likely. Onsets of illness were elevated from May to August and peaked in June. Serologic testing is the most widely available and frequently used laboratory method for diagnosis. Both IgM and IgG antibody levels are used to confirm illness. Collection of acute (within a week of onset) and convalescent (2 to 4 weeks later) specimens are recommended for confirming the diagnosis. Treatment should be initiated before lab confirmation, when there is high suspicion of tickborne illness, to reduce the severity of disease. Doxycycline is the primary drug of choice for the treatment of ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis.i 39 Descriptive and Clinical Summary of Reported Ehrlichiosis and Anaplasmosis Cases, Oklahoma, 2010 (N = 107) Number (%) Incidence rate per 100,000 Gender Male Female 67 (63%) 40 (37%) 3.68 2.14 Age Median Age: 48 years (Range: 21 months – 82 years) Race White American Indian or Alaska Native Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander Two or More Races Unknown 60 (56%) 27 (25%) 1 (1%) 3 (3%) 16 (15%) 2.09 9.12 25.34 1.98 -- Hispanic or Latino Ethnicity Unknown 1 (1%) 40 (37%) 0.33 -- Disease Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis Human Granulocytic Anaplasmosis 98 (92%) 9 (8%) -- -- Symptoms Fever Headache Myalgia Rash 106 (99%) 68 (64%) 54 (50%) 28 (26%) -- -- -- -- Reported Exposures Wooded or tick infested area Tick bite 15 (14%) 40 (37%) -- -- Hospitalized due to Ehrlichiosis or Anaplasmosis 26 (24%) -- Died due to Ehrlichiosis or Anaplasmosis 0 (0%) -- Incidence Rate of Reported Ehrlichiosis and Anaplasmosis Cases by Year, Oklahoma and U.S., 2001-2010* 0 1 2 3 4 5 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 U.S. Oklahoma Incidence Rate per 100,000 Year *U.S. 2010 Rate Unavailable i Heymann, David L., Editor.

American Public Health Association, 2008 40 Gonorrhea 2010 Case Total 4,369 2010 Incidence Rate 116.5 per 100,000 2009 Case Total 4,661 2009 Incidence Rate 128.0 per 100,000 Gonorrhea is the second most prevalent sexually transmitted disease reported in Oklahoma after chlamydia. Gonorrhea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhea, a bacterium that can grow and multiply in warm, moist areas of the reproductive tract, mouth, throat, eyes, and anus. In women, gonorrhea can result in pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, cervicitis, and eventually infertility. Pregnant women infected with gonorrhea can also infect their unborn babies through the amniotic fluid or during birth. In men, this infection most often manifests as purulent urethral discharge and dysuria, and can cause infertility. Oklahoma mandated gonorrhea reporting in 1943, when 4,715 cases were reported. Reported gonorrhea cases increased until 1982 when numbers started to slowly drop following a national decline due to the implementation of a national gonorrhea control program in the mid-1970s. In 2010, a total of 4,369 cases were reported in Oklahoma, approximately a 6% decrease from 2009. Oklahoma had an incidence rate of 166.5 per 100,000 in 2010 with 57% of the reported cases being female. In 1989, men made up the majority of gonorrhea cases in the U.S., but since 2002 women have made up the majority of cases. Oklahoma has followed a similar trend. While Oklahoma County had the highest number of reported cases, Comanche County had the highest rate at 249.8 per 100,000, followed by Tulsa County (220.3 per 100,000) and Okmulgee County (217.1 per 100,000). Comanche County had a 35% rate increase between 2009 and 2010; however, Okmulgee County had a rate increase of 77.9% (122 per 100,000 to 217.1 per 100,000). Oklahoma County decreased by 15.9% and Tulsa County decreased by 9.7%. Gonorrhea occurs in all ages, but age groups 20 to 24 years (562 per 100,000) and 15 to 19 years (482.4 per 100,000) had the highest rates among all the age groups. Although most age groups had a rate decrease from 2009 to 2010, three age groups experienced an increase: 45 to 49 years at 6.2% increase, 25 to 29 years at 3.6% increase, and 30 to 34 years at 1% increase. Blacks had the highest rate among all racial groups with a rate of 882 per 100,000, 18.8 times higher when compared to Whites (47 per 100,000). American Indians/Alaska Natives had the second highest rate (102 per 100,000) which was 2.2 times higher than Whites. Asian/Pacific Islanders had a rate of 29 per 100,000 but represented only 20 cases in 2010, an 81.8% increase from 2009. Hispanics had a rate of 59 per 100,000 in 2010, which represents a 14.8% decrease from 2009. Whites had the highest increase in gonorrhea rate (10% increase from 2009), while American Indian/Alaska Natives had the largest decrease (9.9% decrease from 2009). 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Incidence Rate per 100,000 Year Incidence Rate of Reported Gonorrhea Cases, Oklahoma and U.S., 1998-2010* U.S Oklahoma *United States Data for 2010 was not available at the time of this report. 41 Gonorrhea Cases and Rates by Demographics for 2010, Oklahoma Number Percent Incidence Rate per 100,000 Gender* Male 1,873 42.9 % 102.8 Female 2,493 57.1 % 133.7 Unknown 3 <1 % - Age Groups (N = 4,368)* < 10 Years 8 <1 % 1.5 10 - 14 28 <1 % 11.6 15 - 19 1,239 28.4 % 482.4 20 - 24 1,578 36.1 % 562.0 25 - 29 823 18.8 % 299.7 30 - 34 377 8.6 % 163.7 35 - 39 135 3.1 % 59.0 40 - 44 82 1.9 % 36.7 45 - 49 57 1.3 % 22.0 > 50 Years 41 <1 % 3.5 Race American Indian/Alaska Native 327 7.5 % 101.7 Black/African American 2,450 56.1 % 882.4 White 1,262 28.9 % 46.6 Asian/Pacific Islander 20 <1 % 28.8 Two or more races 85 1.9 % N/A Other 30 <1 % N/A Unknown 195 4.5 % N/A Ethnicity Hispanic 197 4.5 % 59.3 *At the time of publication 2010 population data was not available; therefore, 2009 population data was used to calculate rates. 42 Haemophilus influenzae Invasive Disease 2010 Case Total 105 2010 Incidence Rate 2.85 per 100,000 2009 Case Total 92 2009 Incidence Rate 2.53 per 100,000 Invasive Haemophilus influenzae (H. flu) disease is a reportable condition in Oklahoma, and all H. flu sterile-site isolates are required to be submitted to the OSDH Public Health Laboratory (PHL) for confirmation and serotype identification. One hundred and five cases of invasive H. flu were reported to the OSDH during 2010 resulting in an incidence rate of 2.85 per 100,000 population, a 14.1% increase from 2009. H. flu isolates are serotyped based on the presence of a capsule (serotypes a through f) or absence of a capsule (non-typeable). Both capsulated and nonencapsulated isolates have the ability to cause severe disease. Of the 97 isolates (92% of reported cases) available for serotype identification by the PHL, 53 (54.6%) were non-typeable, 21 (21.6%) were serotype f, 9 (9.3%) were serotype a, 6 (6.2%) were serotype e, 4 (4.1%) were serotype d, and 4 (4.1%) were serotype b. Infection types of the cases included bacteremia/sepsis (97%, n = 102), meningitis (4%, n = 4), and pneumonia (59%, n = 62). Cases of invasive H. flu in 2010 ranged in age from 1 day to 93 years with a median age of 70 years. The highest age-specific incidence rates per 100,000 population occurred among persons 80 years and older (refer to graph). Fourteen (13%) cases occurred among children less than 5 years of age, an age-specific incidence rate of 5.15 per 100,000 population. The highest proportion of cases occurred during the winter months, with over half of reported cases (n = 55, 52%) occurring in January, February, November, and December. When a case of invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is identified, an active contact investigation commences to locate all close contacts less than 4 years of age, review vaccination history, and recommend antibiotic prophylaxis if needed. If any exposed children less than 4 years of age who are either unvaccinated or have not yet received the full primary series of the Hib vaccine are identified, then chemoprophylaxis is recommended to eradicate carriage of the organism. All four Hib cases reported in 2010 were over the age of 70 years. Investigations conducted by county health department public health nurses determined none of the close contacts were less than 4 years of age for three of the cases; therefore, post-exposure chemoprophylaxis was not recommended. Investigation of the fourth case revealed exposed contacts less than 4 years of age that had not yet received the full primary series of the Hib vaccine. During this investigation, OSDH recommended chemoprophylaxis to eradicate carriage of the organism to a total of 10 exposed close, personal contacts. No secondary cases occurred among cases reported during 2010.

In 2010, the incidence rate (IR) of HUS in Oklahoma represented a 35% decrease from 2009. HUS became a nationally notifiable disease in 2000 and since that time Oklahoma’s incidence rate has been similar to the national incidence. From 2001 to 2010, the median annual number of reported HUS cases in Oklahoma was 5 (range, 2 to 51), and the overall case fatality rate was 3%. In 2010, the highest IR occurred among persons less than 5 years of age (2.21 per 100,000, n = 6), followed by cases 5 to 9 years of age (1.18 per 100,000, n = 3), and 70 to 79 years of age (0.48 per 100,000, n = 1). The incidence of HUS in women (0.38 per 100,000, n = 7) was 1.7 times greater than in men (0.22 per 100,000, n = 4) but was not statistically significant. Cases occurred among residents of nine Oklahoma counties. The diagnosis of HUS is made through evaluation of a combination of laboratory test results. Anemia with microangiopathic changes shown on a peripheral blood smear was documented for eight (73%) of the cases. Of those with microangiopathic changes, schistocytes were most commonly seen (63%) compared to burr cells (38%) and helmet cells (25%), all non-exclusive. Hematuria was reported in 73% of cases; with proteinuria in 64% of cases. Additionally, elevated creatinine was documented for 82% of cases and thrombocytopenia in 91% of cases. An etiologic agent was identified in six (55%) of the 11 cases, which were E. coli O157:H7 (n = 5) and E. coli O121:H19 (n = 1) with results confirmed by the OSDH PHL.

The number of cases has been less than 20 per year since 2004. Of the six cases identified in 2010, none were associated with high-risk settings. One secondary case in a household member was identified through public health investigations. One case was hospitalized, and none of the cases expired. A total of 45 close contacts were investigated (median: 5, range: 1 – 18 per case). Of those, 18 did not have evidence of immunity through previous testing or history of vaccination, and therefore required post exposure prophylaxis (PEP). The county health departments provide PEP to those identified as close contacts to confirmed hepatitis A cases. In 2007, PEP guidelines were revised by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), limiting the use of immunoglobulin (IG) and expanding the use of the hepatitis A vaccine. For persons from 12 months to 40 years of age, the hepatitis A vaccine is now the preferred method of PEP. IG remains the recommended PEP for persons less than 12 months of age, greater than 40 years of age, and for those who are immunocompromised or who have chronic disease such as liver disease or other chronic medical conditions.i Incidence Rate of Reported Hepatitis A Cases by Year, Oklahoma and US, 1980-2010* 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 Oklahoma United States 2010 Target Statewide Vaccination Program Instituted, 1998 Incidence Rate per 100,000 *US rates unavailable for 2010 Year 46 Hepatitis A should be considered in unvaccinated persons with hallmark symptoms of jaundice, very dark urine and/or clay-colored stools (refer to table for symptoms reported by cases), particularly those with recent exposure to high-risk regions through travel or residence. One case (17%) reported international travel during their exposure period. A positive hepatitis A IgM titer indicates current infection, although false positive tests are common.ii Healthcare providers should restrict testing for hepatitis A to those clients with clinical evidence of acute hepatitis A infection. Liver function tests are usually markedly elevated in confirmed cases. Of the five cases with known liver function test results, the median alanine transaminase (ALT) was 589 (range: 135 – 1331), median aspartate aminotransferase (AST) of 435 (range: 202 – 1158), and median total bilirubin was 3.0 (range: 0.3 – 7.4). The hepatitis A vaccine is routinely recommended for individuals 2 years of age or older, and the two-dose regimen is required for entry into childcare or grade school in Oklahoma.

This is a 6% decrease in reported cases from 2009 to 2010. The OSDH supports adult vaccination for hepatitis B, and hepatitis A. Through the Adult Viral Hepatitis Program, the OSDH provides these vaccines at no cost to high risk individuals in the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, county health department sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics, and two metro area medical clinics for the homeless - one in Oklahoma City and one in Tulsa. Adult immunizations coupled with prevention education are key components to decreasing hepatitis B infections. Sixty-five of the 115 acute hepatitis B cases (57%) were males; fifty (43%) were female. Racial breakdown is as follows: 81 Whites (3.1 per 100,000), 19 American Indians and Alaska Natives (6.7 per 100,000), nine Black or African Americans (3.1 per 100,000), one Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander (31.8 per 100,000) and five cases were reported as unknown race. The CDC reports, in the Sexually Transmitted Diseases Treatment Guidelines 2010, the primary risk factors associated with hepatitis B infection among adolescents and adults are unprotected sex with an infected partner, unprotected sex with more than one partner, men who have sex with other men (MSM), a history of other STDs, and illegal injection-drug usei. Forty-nine (43%) of the total number of acute cases reported a risk factor of 2 or more sexual partners. Twenty-six of these 49 respondents reported having more than five sexual partners. Perinatal Hepatitis B 2010 Case Total 83 2009 Case Total 95 The Perinatal Hepatitis B Program identified 83 babies born to hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) positive women in Oklahoma in 2010. This number is a slight decrease (13%) from 2009. The CDC recommends that infants born to HbsAg positive women be given hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) and hepatitis B vaccine within 12 hours of birth. Seventy (85.4%) of the babies born in Oklahoma hospitals received both injections within 12 hours, seventy-five (91.5%) received both injections within 24 hours and seventy-seven (93.9%) received both injections within 48 hours of birth. Fifty-two (63.4%) of the infants had received HBIG and all three hepatitis B vaccines by 12 months of age. The ages of the women who were hepatitis B surface antigen positive and who delivered infants ranged from 17 years to 41years. Forty-seven (57%) of delivering women were between 20 and 30 years of age. Thirty-two (39%) were between 30 and 40 years of age, and four (5%) percent were under 20 years of age. i Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The acute form is a short-term illness that occurs within the first six months after a person is exposed to the hepatitis C virus (HCV) which causes hepatitis C infection. However, the disease can become chronic, and people who received a blood transfusion before 1992 or are past or current injection-drug users are at risk for chronic hepatitis C, and should be screened for the disease. Chronic HCV infection progresses slowly over the course of 15-30 years and can lead to cirrhosis of the liver or liver cancer. Eight to ten thousand deaths occur annually in the United States as a result of chronic HCV infection. In 2010, confirmed cases of acute hepatitis C in Oklahoma reflected a 52% increase from 2009. Based on the most current national data, Oklahoma’s case rate (1.1 per 100,000) continues to be above the national rate (0.3 per 100,000) for confirmed cases of acute hepatitis C. Tulsa County had the highest number of cases of acute hepatitis C in 2010 with nine cases (22%). The highest incidence rate occurred in Pawnee county with 12.18 cases per 100,000 (n = 2), followed by Haskell county with 8.07 per 100,000 (n = 1) and Okmulgee county with 7.64 per 100,000 (n = 3). Cases of acute hepatitis C ranged in age from 18 years to 74 years. The highest number of cases, 20 (49%), occurred in the 25 - 34 year age group. Age groups of the remaining cases were as follows: four (9%) 15 to 24 years, ten (24%) 35 to 44 years, five (12%) 45 to 54 years, one (2%) 55 to 64 years, and one (2%) 65 to 74 years. There were 22 females (54%) and 19 males (46%) infected with confirmed acute hepatitis C. The confirmed acute hepatitis C cases broken down by race occurred in: Whites (0.9 per 100,000, n = 27), Native Americans (3.7 per 100,000, n = 11), Black/African American (0.3 pr 100,000, n = 1) and unknown race (n = 2). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that “of the cases reported in 2007 for which information con-cerning exposures during the incubation period was available, the most common risk factor identified was IDU [injection drug use] (48%). During 1998–2007, IDU was reported for an average of 44% of persons (range: 38%– 54%)”.ii In 2010, the risk factors most frequently reported in Oklahoma were: IDU (56%), other drug use besides IDU (54%), tattoos (56%), and 2 or more sexual partners (56%). Nineteen (46%) of the cases reported both IDU and other drug use. Ten (24%) of the cases reported all four of the listed risk factors. i Title 310. Oklahoma State Department of Health, Chapter 515.

AIDS is the result of an HIV infection and is the most advanced stage of HIV, resulting in severe damage to the immune system. HIV progressively reduces the immune system by destroying specific blood cells, called CD4 positive T-lymphocytes (CD4+ T-cells) and leaves individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections. HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen (including pre-seminal fluid), vaginal fluid, and breast milk. The most common activities which place a person at risk are sexual intercourse (oral, anal, or vaginal), sharing of needles or syringes, or exposure from mother to baby before or during birth or through breast feeding. AIDS is defined as having HIV with fewer than 200 CD4+ T-cells per cubic milliliter of blood (or less than 14%), and/or any at least one clinical opportunistic infection. People living with HIV may appear and feel healthy for years; however, HIV is still affecting their bodies. Although treatments for AIDS and HIV can slow the course of the disease, there is no known cure or vaccine. Antiretroviral treatment reduces both the mortality and the morbidity of HIV infection. Currently, people can live much longer, even decades, with HIV before they develop AIDS. AIDS was first recognized by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1981 and its cause, HIV, identified in the early 1980s. AIDS became reportable in Oklahoma in 1983 and HIV infection in 1988. In Oklahoma, two cases of AIDS were first diagnosed in 1982 and two cases of HIV in 1984. By the end of 2010, an estimated 8,462 cases of HIV/AIDS had been diagnosed among residents of Oklahoma. A breakdown of the 8,462 HIV/AIDS cases shows 5,449 AIDS cases and 3,013 HIV cases. Of those diagnoses, 49 were perinatal infections (mother to baby transmission). The race breakdown for the above cases is as follows: 5,441 (64.4%) in Whites, 1,794 (21.2%) in Blacks, 504 (6.0%) in Hispanics, 46 (0.5%) in Asian/Hawaiian Pacific Islanders and 536 (6.3%) in American Indian/Alaskan Natives. Persons who reported belonging to two or more races had 141 (1.7%) cases diagnosed. The ratio of male to female diagnoses was 17:3 (n = 7,216, 85.3% to 1,246, 14.7%). Men having sex with men (MSM) accounted for 4,507 (53.3%) cases, and those MSM who also reported using illegal drugs (MSM/IDU) accounted for 894 (10.6%) cases. Approximately 11% (n = 962 cases) reported their risk as injection drug use (IDU). Similarly, 11.2% (n = 951) of persons reported exposure through heterosexual sex with someone with HIV. Among the age groups, 30 to 39 years of age (n = 3,213, 38.0%) accounted for the largest group of cases, followed by 20 to 29 years of age (n = 2,652, 31.3%). Teenagers (13 to 19 years of age) accounted for almost 3% (n = 224; 2.7%) of the cumulative HIV/AIDS cases, while children under 13 years of age reported less than 1% (n = 70, 0.8%) of the infections. At the end of 2010, an estimated 4,908 cases were living with HIV/AIDS (HIV: n = 2,552, 52.0%; AIDS: n = 2,356, 48.0%). 2010 Summary In 2010, 300 cases (HIV, 208; AIDS, 92) of HIV/AIDS cases were diagnosed. This resulted in a 16% decrease in the number of cases diagnosed in 2010 compared to 2009. From 2006 to 2010, 1,699 cases of HIV/AIDS have been diagnosed at an average of 340 cases per year, an average of 9.2 cases per 100,000 population. There has been a downward trend of AIDS only from 188 cases in 2006 to 92 cases in 2010; however, the opposite is true for newly diagnosed HIV (not AIDS) cases. In 2006, there were a total of 157 and in 2010 the total was 208. Of the 26 deaths in 2010, seven were diagnosed and died in the same year, and 19 of the deaths were diagnoses from previous years. Three counties in Oklahoma, Oklahoma (n = 85, 27.7%), Tulsa (n = 69, 23.0%), and Cleveland (n = 34, 11.3%), account for the majority (62.0%) of the newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS cases. 50 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Number of cases Year of Diagnosis HIV/AIDS Cases Diagnosed in Oklahoma by Year, 2001 ‐ 2010 HIV cases AIDS cases Deaths* HIV/AIDS *Deaths are irrespective of date of diagnosis Among age groups, 20 to 29 year olds accounted for 35.0% (n = 105), 30 to 39 year olds accounted for 25.7% (n = 77), 40 to 49 year olds accounted for 22.0% (n = 66), and 50 to 59 year olds accounted for 10.0% (n = 30). Teenagers (13 to 19 years of age) accounted for 3.0% (n = 9). Of the 300 cases diagnosed in 2010, males represented 249 cases with a rate of 13.7 per 100,000 population, while females reported 51 cases with a rate of 2.7 per 100,000 population. Among race and ethnic groups, Blacks or African Americans (n = 105, 35%) had a rate of 34.4 cases per 100,000 population, Whites (n = 138, 46%) had a rate of 5.1 cases per 100,000 population, Hispanics (n = 24, 8%) had a rate of 8.0 cases per 100,000 population and American Indians /Alaskan Natives (n = 21, 7%) had at a rate of 6.6 cases per 100,000 per population. Of the 300 newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS cases, MSM accounted for 52.0% (n = 156), MSM/IDU accounted for 8.3% (n = 25), heterosexual sex accounted for 10.7% (n = 32), and IDU only accounted for almost 5% (n = 14, 4.7%). Approximately 3% (n = 38, 2.7%) of those diagnosed in 2010, did not report their risk. 51 Legionellosis 2010 Case Total 15 2010 Incidence Rate 0.41 per 100,000 2009 Case Total 10 2009 Incidence Rate 0.27 per 100,000 The number of legionellosis cases reported in 2010 is a 50% increase from the 10 cases reported in 2009. Since 2000, the annual incidence rate of legionellosis has ranged from 0.14 to 0.41 per 100,000 population with the exception of 2004 when the incidence rate was 0.70 per 100,000 population due to an outbreak. In 2010, lab tests were performed via bronchial culture (7%), sputum culture (7%), and urine antigen testing (87%). No outbreaks of legionellosis were identified in Oklahoma during 2010. During 2010, cases of legionellosis occurred among residents of ten Oklahoma counties and were spread geographically across all regions of the state except the northwest region. The highest incidence rate occurred among cases 45 to 49 years of age (IR = 1.93, n = 5) followed by cases 70 to 74 years of age (IR = 1.74, n = 2) and 65 to 69 years of age (IR = 1.34, n = 2). Of the cases reported in 2010, 1 (7%) reported travel outside of the state during the incubation period of their illness, and 2 (13%) reported exposure to a respiratory device filled with tap water such as a nebulizer or humidifier. Prevention of legionellosis is based upon proper maintenance of heating, cooling and plumbing systems. Special attention should also be given to hot tubs and whirlpool baths to keep them free of Legionella bacteria.

Although most listeriosis infections involve mild illnesses not requiring medical care, Listeria is responsible for approximately 1,591 of the estimated 9.4 million foodborne illnesses and an estimated 257 deaths per year in the U.S.i Pregnant women are about 20 times more likely than healthy adults to acquire the disease. In pregnancy, the infection can be passed to the fetus and in some cases cause premature delivery, infection of the newborn, or stillbirth. Newborns, rather than the mothers, experience the serious effects of infection during pregnancy; the case-fatality rate is 20 to 30% in infants born alive and the occurrence of abortion and stillbirth increases the overall mortality rate to more than 50%.ii Other specific groups at increased risk include persons with weakened immune systems such as those with cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, AIDS, those who take glucocorticosteroid medications, and individuals older than 60 years. In Oklahoma, 9 cases of listeriosis were reported to OSDH resulting in an incidence rate that was higher than the previous five year average (2005 through 2009) incidence rate of 0.15 per 100,000 population. Listeria was isolated from blood for seven cases (78%), from cerebrospinal fluid for one case (11%), and from placenta for one case (11%). All nine cases were hospitalized and two (22%) cases died due to Listeria sepsis. The case ages ranged from 1 day to 77 years and all nine cases were female. Seven (78%) of the cases were White, one was Asian (11%), and one (11%) race was unknown. Two (25%) of the eight cases were Hispanic. Five cases (56%) reported consuming soft cheeses and four cases (44%) reported consuming ready-to-eat deli meats. Six (67%) cases were over the age of 60 and two of the six had a history of underlying medical conditions that compromised their immune system. Two (22%) cases were pregnant at the time of illness. Most cases of listeriosis are sporadic; however, outbreaks due to consumption of contaminated food have been identified. Prompt reporting of cases can help in the early detection of an outbreak, identification of the sources of infection, and prevention of additional cases. The Communicable Disease Reporting Rules (OAC 310: Chapter 515) require that Listeria isolates grown from sterile sites (e.g. blood, cerebrospinal fl |
