Definiciones de casos de vigilancia
Several mosquito-borne diseases are reportable in Virginia. For more information about disease reporting, please visit VDH Disease Reporting and Control Regulations. Questions about disease reporting should be directed to your local health department.
Standardized surveillance case definitions are used to determine if a reported case meets specific criteria to be included in case counts for the purposes of public health surveillance. Case definitions usually rely on a combination of clinical, laboratory, and epidemiologic criteria to evaluate the strength of the evidence and then classify the reported case as either a confirmed case, probable case, suspect case, or not a case. Surveillance case definitions enable public health officials to classify and count cases consistently across reporting jurisdictions. Surveillance case definitions are not intended to be used by healthcare providers for making a clinical diagnosis or determining how to meet an individual patient’s health needs.
