Descriptor	notificación de enfermedades
Entry term(s)	declaración de enfermedad infecciosa declaración de enfermedades declaración de enfermedades infecciosas enfermedad de declaración obligatoria notificación de enfermedad notificación de enfermedades infecciosas notificación de exposición
Scope note:	Notificación o comunicación oficial por un médico u otro proveedor de atención a la salud, de la aparición de enfermedades contagiosas específicas, como la tuberculosis o las infecciones por el VIH, a los organismos públicos de salud pertinentes. El sistema de Estados Unidos para la comunicación oficial de enfermedades de declaración obligatoria procede de la Ley de Cuarentena (Quarantine Act) de 1878, que autorizaba al Servicio de Salud Pública a recoger datos de morbilidad por cólera, viruela y fiebre amarilla; cada estado dispone de su propia lista de enfermedades de declaración obligatoria y depende, en gran medida, de las declaraciones de cada proveedor individual de atención a la salud. (Traducción libre del original: Segen, Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992)
