Abstract		According to the Law on Communicable Diseases, the notification of communicable diseases is compulsory. Data on communicable diseases are systematically collected and analysed by the Regional Institutes of Public Health, then sent to the Communicable Diseases Centre at the Institute of Public Health of the Republic of Slovenia. There, monthly reports and an annual report on their incidence and epidemiological characteristics are prepared. The successful prevention and control of communicable diseases are based on an efficient national system of epidemiologic surveillance. Such a system makes it possible to obtain data on important communicable diseases, to become aware of epidemics and to monitor the efficiency of programmes for controlling diseases. The system includes only information necessary for the prevention and control of these diseases, therefore data can differ from one disease to another. The National system of epidemiologic surveillance includes: prompt notification, confirmation, decision-making and determination of suitable measures, and variable reporting speeds in order to meet the needs of a systematic surveillance of communicable diseases. This system also enables early detection of cases with the aim of controlling the spread of communicable diseases. This system of epidemiologic surveillance is an important basis for operative programmes of control. This is especially true for vaccine preventable diseases and for diseases which occur in epidemics. Besides being under systematic surveillance, some diseases are also followed up on with sensitive laboratory supported investigative systems, in order to obtain the information necessary for decision-making in the domain of public health assurance. The reported communicable diseases are presented in tables according to certain epidemiological characteristics. Acute respiratory and diarrheal diseases represent the highest proportion of reported diseases. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters)
Summary		Prijava nalezljivih bolezni je po Zakonu o nalezljivih boleznih obvezna. Podatke o nalezljivih boleznih sistematično zbirajo območni zavodi za zdravstveno varstvo in jih s pomočjo računalniškega programa analizirajo ter pošiljajo v Center za nalezljive bolezni na Inštitutu za varovanje zdravja, ki pripravlja mesečna in letno poročilo o gibanju nalezljivih bolezni in njihovih epidemioloških značilnostih. Uspešno preprečevanje in obvladovanje nalezljivih bolezni temelji na učinkovitem nacionalnem sistemu epidemiološkega spremljanja, s katerim se zagotovijo podatki o pomembnih nalezljivih boleznih, omogoča se zaznavanje epidemij in opazovanje učinkovitosti programov obvladovanja bolezni. Sistem vključuje le informacije, ki so potrebne za preprečevanje in obvladovanje teh bolezni, zato se lahko podatki od bolezni do bolezni razlikujejo. Naconalni sistem epidemiološkega spremljanja vključuje hitro prijavo, potrditev, odločanje in ukrepanje in z različno hitrostjo poročanja zadosti potrebam sistematičnega spremljanja nalezljivih bolezni kot tudi omogoža zgodnje odkrivanje/zaznavanje primerov s cifjem obvladovanja širjenja nalezljivih bolezni. Sistem epidemiološkega spremljanja je pomembna podlaga za operativne programe obvladovanja. To velja še posebej za bolezni, proti katerim cepimo, in bolezni, ki se pojavljajo v epidemijah. Nekatere bolezni se poleg sistematičnega spremljanja dodatno spremljajo tudi z laboratorijsko podprtimi občutljivimi sistemi, da se dobijo informacije, potrebne za odločitve na področju zagotavljanja javnega zdravja.
