Description
This report contains data on selected blood-borne pathogen and sexually transmitted infections in Alberta. Measures are based on newly diagnosed cases of infection per year, up to 2006. Reported rates are age-adjusted according to 1996 Census Canada data. For each infection, background information is provided on the effects of the infection, modes of transmission, available treatments, and international and Canadian data on infection rates. The analyses of Alberta data examine time trends, age groups, geographic areas, ethnicities, First Nations status, exposure categories, deaths, and prenatal screening, as available or appropriate for each pathogen.
