are we required to report syphilis to Center for Disease Control (CDC)
The abbreviation “CDC” refers to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which conducts the prevention and health promotion activities. Some of the diseases with great public health importance must be reported to CDC. It is the responsibility of the healthcare worker to report the cases, but not that of the patient. All states of US have a list of reportable diseases, which also includes syphilis. Thus, the cases of syphilis must be informed to the CDC.
