Public Health Reporting and National Notification for Hantavirus Infection [14-ID-08]

• Description:
  Statement of the Problem: CSTE Position statement 09-ID-17 is the currently approved standardized reporting definition for hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). However, laboratory-confirmed cases of hantavirus infection that do not progress to HPS (i.e., no pulmonary symptoms) do not meet the current case definition and so are not notifiable. This position statement proposes to amend the title and case definition so that all cases of laboratory-confirmed hantavirus infection would be nationally notifiable. This would be accomplished by creating an additional disease classification “Non-HPS Hantavirus Infection”.
