Query Results for New Mexico Infectious Disease Data (data updated nightly) - Coccidiodomycosis Cases per 100,000 Population
Query Result Page Options
Restrictions/conditions:
- This features only effects queryable datasets loaded after the apply criteria feature is enabled.
- When a new queryable dataset is loaded, this features does NOT clean/clear any of that dataset's default selected values - it simply supplements the newly loaded dataset's selections with those values captured when the apply criteria feature was enabled.
- When in the builder interface you can override and make additional changes (select or deselect).
- Changes made in the builder interface are not automatically saved to the enabled apply criteria definition. However, once you have a result you can reapply the current critera by using this dialog and pressing the "Reapply" button. If you do not see this button then the apply criteria feature has not been enabled.
- Selections are applied according to what selections are available within that given queryable dataset. For example if your apply criteria is set for years 1999-2015 and the dataset does not have 1999 then only years 2000-2015 will be selected.
- This feature is available immediately and does not require any user login account. However, if you wish to save this definition you will need to have either a free self registered user account or a secure DOH account and be logged in to be able to save your definitions.
- TURNING OFF: These selections will remain in effect for the length of your current session on this site. It is turned off by pressing the "Clear" button.
- TECHNICAL NOTE: The selection's internal dimension names and values MUST match. In some instances a value's title shown to the user will look the same as the dataset's but it is stored internally with a different name or value so they do not match and thus will not be selected. As an end user there is nothing that can be done about this situation because this is something the dataset author must setup. If you see something like this please contact us and report this issue.
One Example:
Doing studies on different datasets like you want to look at different survey datasets for hispanic females for years 2015-2018. You want to always display a county choropleth map and a horizontal bar chart. You make those initial selections, submit your selections, enable this apply criteria feature. From then on, those selections are automatically applied (as much as possible) to all subsequent queryable datasets you open.You are not logged in. To save a query you must be logged in.

Data Notes
Coccidioidomycosis
Coccidioidomycosis, also known as Valley Fever, is caused by a fungus called Coccidioides that lives in the soil of semiarid areas, such as the southwestern United States and parts of Mexico and South America. People get infected by inhaling spores that become airborne after disturbance of contaminated soil by humans (e.g., construction, agricultural work, military field training and archeological exploration) or natural disasters (e.g., dust storms and earthquakes). The infection cannot be spread from person to person or from animals to people. Many infections are not diagnosed due to lack of symptoms or very mild symptoms. People who develop symptoms may experience fever, cough, headache, rash and muscle aches. Most people make a full recovery but a few may develop chronic lung infection or infections in other parts of the body. People of African-American, Asian or Filipino descent, pregnant women during the third trimester and those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of developing severe infection. The case definition for coccidioidomycosis was broadened in 2008 so trends should be interpreted with caution. For more information, please see [http://www.cdc.gov/nczved/divisions/dfbmd/diseases/coccidioidomycosis].[[br]][[br]]Denominator for Rate Calculation
A disease incidence rate is the number of persons who became ill in a given time period divided by the number of persons at risk during the same time period. Incidence rates in this IBIS module use a year as the time frame of reference and "person-years" in the denominator of the calculation. For events counted over an entire year, person-years is the total (July 1) population for that geography and sub-population (e.g., age group). For monthly estimates, person-years is calculated as the annual population divided by 12. To get current population estimates for New Mexico, use the IBIS Query module for population estimates.
Rates for 2017 are currently calculated using 2016 population estimates.

Data Issues
New Mexico Electronic Disease Surveillance System (NM-EDSS)
Disease incidence data are derived from reports of notifiable infectious diseases. NMDOH relies on health care providers, laboratories, hospitals, clinics, institutions and individuals to report suspected and confirmed notifiable infectious diseases in accordance with New Mexico Administrative Code 7.4.3.13. Under-reporting can occur due to of lack of awareness about reporting requirements or lack of compliance with those requirements. Not all cases of infectious diseases can be detected for various reasons including lack of access to health care services, lack of laboratory testing or concerns about confidentiality. Specific and standardized national case definitions are used to classify disease reports by case status. To report a disease incident included in the Administrative Code, contact the Epidemiology and Response Division at the New Mexico Department of Health, 505-827-0006.New Mexico Population Estimates
All population estimates apply to July 1 of the selected year. These estimates are considered the most accurate estimates for the state of New Mexico and should match those found on the University of New Mexico Geospatial and Population Studies website. Estimates include decimal fractions. Census tract population estimates were summed to produce County and Small Area population estimates. Population estimate totals may vary due to rounding. Population estimates for previous years are occasionally revised as new information becomes available. When publishing trend data, always be sure that your rates for earlier years match current rates on NM-IBIS that have been calculated with the most up-to-date population estimates.
