• Description:
  Form OMB Approved: 0920-0978; CDC 52.12A Rev. 2024 ; Collect Case Information: ABCs personnel complete a standardized case report form on all identified cases. This form contains questions on: Basic demographics; Underlying conditions; Vaccinations; and, Risk factors for infection. ; Surveillance personnel obtain some of the data of interest from the microbiology laboratories. However, all essential data for describing the population-based epidemiology of these diseases may not be available in many microbiology laboratories. ; ABCs sites collect patient medical records data to complement laboratory information. Sites obtain medical records data through the cooperation of on-site hospital personnel (e.g., infection preventionists). They can also obtain these data through medical record review by county health department personnel or ABCs personnel. ; Surveillance areas regularly assess the completeness of information collected for each case. ABCs sites revise the data collection methods to correct if any of the core variables are frequently incomplete. ; Collect Sterile Site Isolates: ABCs sites collect sterile site isolates for each identified case of group A Streptococcus, Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria meningitidis, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Some sites collect group B Streptococcus isolates. Sites batch isolates and send them to CDC for further testing and characterization.
