Pesticide Illness Report
To determine the extent of morbidity within the community.
To evaluate risks of transmission.
For surveillance to be effective, the reporting of communicable diseases must be timely. Delay or failure to report communicable diseases has contributed to serious consequences in the past. Reports by health care providers form the basis for monitoring communicable diseases. The information provided is crucial for interrupting transmission, recognizing and controlling outbreaks, following trends, and informing the medical community about local occurrence of communicable diseases. Failure to report can result in increased diseases in the community, increased costs for diagnosis and treatment, additional time lost from work or school, prolonged hospitalization, and possibly death.
State Law (California Code of Regulations, Title 17, Health and Safety Code, Section 2500; see full text below) requires health care providers to report certain diseases and conditions of public health importance to the local health department. Many physicians are not aware of their responsibility to report these diseases and conditions. Laboratory reporting of a particular disease does not relieve the physician of this responsibility. Patient consent is NOT needed to report cases or suspect cases, or to supply additional information requested by Public Health.
The list of diseases and conditions required to be reported to the local health department is available in the “Reporting Forms" section above. Most of these are communicable diseases as required in Title 17, California Code of Regulations, §2500.
The following is the list of Reportable Noncommunicable Diseases and Conditions §2800–2812 and §2593(B):
Disorders Characterized by Lapses of Consciousness (§2800-2812)
Pesticide-related illness or injury (known or suspected cases)
Cancer, including benign and borderline brain tumors (except (1) basal and squamous skin cancer unless occurring on genitalia, and (2) carcinoma in-situ and CIN III of the cervix) (§2593)
Reports should be submitted by mail, telephone, or fax depending on the disease category. A standard form, known as the Confidential Morbidity Report (CMR) is available in the "Reporting Forms" section above for reporting most diseases and conditions. A separate CMR report form should be completed for each disease. Please complete all sections of the CMR.
The HIV/AIDS Case Reporting Form is also available in the "Reporting Forms" section above; this form may only be submitted by mail. The Public Health Services HIV/AIDS Surveillance Coordinator is available to assist in report completion. The confidentiality of patient information is always protected.
