CASES PER 100,000 POPULATION POLIOMYELITIS (Paralytic) - Reported case rates by year, United States, 1951 1952 1953 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 The case rates of paralytic poliomyelitis since 1963 have been less than .06 per 100,000 population. POLIOMYELITIS (Paralytic) - Reported cases by state and by age, United States, 1980 Eight cases of paralytic poliomyelitis were reported for 1980. Four of these were classified epidemiologically as vaccine associated and one as immune deficient, implicating virus from the oral poliovirus vaccine as the probable cause of disease. One case was classified as endemic, non-vaccine associated, and two cases were imported from Mexico. One of the imported cases was in an unvaccinated 67-year-old woman with a positive stool culture and a 4-fold rise in serum neutralizing antibody titer to poliovirus type 3. PSITTACOSIS - Reported cases by year, United States, 1955-1980 1955 '56 '57 '58 '59 '60 '61 '62 '63 '64 '65 '66 '67 '68 '69 '70 '71 '72 '73 '74 '75 '76 '77 '78 '79 '80 The upward trend for psittacosis cases during the past 10 years is due to discrete outbreaks among turkey-processingplant workers in 1974 and 1976 and to cases associated with pet psittacine birds of both domestic and foreign origin. The report of 120-140 cases/year since 1978 is double the mean annual reported occurrence of 67 cases for the decade 1960-1969.
