Group B diseases

[edit]

Group B diseases are reported to the Norwegian Institute of Public Health after de-identifying the patient. The month and year of birth, gender, and municipality are reported. Copies of the notifications from clinicians are sent to the Municipal Medical Officer in the patient's municipality. This group of diseases includes gonorrhoea, HIV infection and syphilis.

Group C diseases

[edit]

Group C diseases are de-identified and the number of patients is reported from medical microbiological laboratories. This group includes genital chlamydia, Clostridioides difficile infection, and influenza-like disease (ILI). The number of Clostridioides difficile cases is reported monthly, genital chlamydia numbers are reported annually and influenza-like disease is reported weekly.
