hepatitis, AIDS in all and HIV in some states and syphlis are the mandatory reportable diseases from the list .
See page 220 of BRS behavioural sciences for the rest of them.

you are right. chiken pox is included in the reportable diseases list in FA but its not listed in BRS. From now on i'll report it.
Thanks for feedback.
P.S. when are you taking the exam?

Hey everyone.
Look this up in the FA micro section. There is a mnemonic: B A SSSMARTT Chicken or your GONE
Hep B
Hep A
Salmonella
Shigella etc... you guys get the message.
Also, since chx pox has the highest prevalence, I think, I would choose it.
Peace
Lo
