Each state varies considerably as to which diseases must be reported, to whom the information is reported, who is required to report, and what information they are required to provide concerning the patient. For example, whereas almost all states require reporting of new cases of anthrax, either within 24 hours or sometimes beyond 24 hours of diagnosis, less than half of the states require any reporting of new cases of smallpox (Horton, Misrahi, Matthews, Kocher, 2002). (For a summary of the different state laws on the reporting of diseases that might possibly be associated with a bioterrorist attack, see Horton et ah, 2002).
