By: Cari LaMolinare Molly Breyne C.J Zuppan A communicable disease is a disease that you can "catch" from someone or something else. They spread by contact with bodily fluids, through the air from a cough or sneeze, or by touching an infected surface. Some people may use the words contagious or infectious when talking about communicable diseases. Common Cold Gonorrhea Gastroenteritis Hepatitis Strep Throat Whooping Cough Pink Eye Rotavirus Influenza HIV/AIDS 62 million cases of the common cold occur each year. Infectious disease, such as the cold or flu, which are spread by germs, accounts for 20 million school days lost annually, and cost the U.S. $120 billion a year. On average annually in the US: 10-20% of the population gets the flu. Over 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu complications, and about 23,600 people die from flu-related causes. About 10 million U.S. adults (ages 18 - 69) were unable to work during 2002 due to health problems spread by infectious germs. World Health Report 2000 reports that 14 million deaths (25 percent of all deaths in the world in 1999) resulted from infectious diseases or their complications. In high-income countries, infectious diseases accounted for only 6 percent of all deaths, whereas in middle-and low-income countries they accounted for 28 percent of all deaths.
