Management & Reporting of Select Communicable Diseases Under Public Health Surveillance

CDPH IDB Guidance for California Local Health Jurisdictions

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Infectious Diseases Branch (IDB) has developed guidance to assist local health jurisdictions in the investigation, management, and reporting of select communicable diseases in California. In general, this information refers to individual cases of select reportable conditions followed by IDB. This guidance does not include communicable diseases followed by other CDPH programs, such as sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis, or vaccine-preventable diseases. Additional chapters for other IDB diseases and supplemental forms will be added as they are completed.
