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. 600 PSITTACOSIS – Reported cases by year, United States, 1955-1980 1955 '56 '57 58 59 '60 '61 '62 '63 164 165 166 167 '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. # RABIES - Reported cases* in humans by year, United States, 1955-1980 RABIES – Reported cases in wild and domestic animals by year, United States, 1955-1980 A total of 6,421 laboratory-confirmed cases of animal rabies in the United States and 68 in Puerto Rico were reported for 1980.
