Abstract

Using a primary care database, we identified a major increase in impetigo in the United Kingdom during 1995- 2010. Despite a doubled rate of primary care consultations, this increase was not identified by routine surveillance. Primary care databases are a valuable and underused source of surveillance data on infectious diseases.
