For NUMBERS 7-15 choices are A. Epidemic B. Sporadic C. Epizootic D. Pandemic E. Endemic For each of the following situations, identify classification of disease it reflects: 7. 22 cases of Legionellosis occurred within 3 weeks among residents of a particular neighborhood (usually 0 to 1 per year) 8. The average annual incidence of Community Acquired Pneumonia is 134 cases per 100,000 population since 2011 9. The common cold is described to be commonly present in Baguio City 10. Single case of Histoplasmosis was diagnosed in a community 11. About 60 cases of gonorrhea are usually reported in City A per week, slightly less than the national average 12. Over 20 million people worldwide died from influenza in 1918 – 1919 13. Over 44 out of the 80 provinces in the Philippines have a usual prevalence of Lymphatic Filariasis 14. The recent flash flood was pinpointed as the cause of the rising cases of anxiety among residents aging 30-50 years old, whether male or female 15. A case of Capillariasis (usually endemic in locations near water) was diagnosed in a certain barangay in Kalinga For NUMBERS 16-20, the choices are A. Prevalence B. Cumulative Incidence C. Incidence Rate 16. Each year, 2.2 million new cases of cancer are diagnosed, including about 1 million new cases of skin cancer. 17. Investigators reported in a recent cross-sectional study of 425 HIV-positive subjects receiving antiretroviral therapy that 11 subjects showed signs or symptoms of hepatotoxicity. 18. In 1997, an estimated 64,207 people sustained nonfatal firearm-related injuries and were treated in U.S. hospital emergency rooms 19. In 1997, 33% of firearm-related injuries resulted in death. 20. A recent cohort study comparing ACE-inhibitor users to ACE-inhibitor nonusers showed that 50 ACE-inhibitor users developed a cough during 2470 person-years of follow-up
