The author analyzed records of infectious diseases, notified in 1996-2000 as occupational diseases. In 92 patients an occupatio- nal disease was notified under item V.1, most frequently scabies was involved (47x), followed by hepatitis (23x, chronic types predominated) and tuberculosis (11x). Under item V.2 70 diseases were notified, most frequently trichophytosis (43x), borreliosis (8x) and erysipeloid (7x). Under item V.3 one amoebiasis was notified and one case of malaria. The new modification of the list of occupational diseases makes it possible to notify cases under item V.1 also from professions beyond the health services, if there is a risk of infection.
