Description:

This memorandum summarizes changes to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) based upon position statement 22-ID-10, titled Public Health Reporting and National Notification for Monkeypox Virus Infection, which was approved by the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) on June 23, 2022. Please share this letter with surveillance and informatics staff in your jurisdictions responsible for submission of NNDSS data to CDC.

For cases identified beginning August 1, 2022, jurisdictions should use the CSTE case definition described in position statement 22-ID-10. Jurisdictions should not retroactively change the classification of cases reported prior to August 1, 2022, based on the new case definition.

CDC will post the monkeypox virus infection national surveillance case definition to the NNDSS case definitions website as soon as possible. Until that time, refer to the case definition in the CSTE position statement.

The position statement recommends that CDC make monkeypox virus infection an immediately notifiable urgent condition. This means that public health jurisdictions should notify CDC within 24 hours of a monkeypox case meeting the confirmed or probable classification criteria. Case data should be sent to CDC as soon as possible, even before the case investigation is complete.
