Class 1: Diseases of major public health importance
					 which shall be reported directly to the Mississippi State Department of Health
					 (MSDH) by telephone within 24 hours of first knowledge or suspicion. Class 1
					 diseases and conditions are dictated by requiring an immediate public health
					 response. Laboratory directors have an obligation to report laboratory findings
					 for selected diseases (refer to Appendix B of the Rules and Regulations
					 Governing Reportable Diseases and Conditions).
Any Suspected Outbreak (including foodborne and
					 waterborne outbreaks)

Any unusual disease or manifestation of illness, including
					 but not limited to the appearance of a novel or previously controlled or
					 eradicated infectious agent, or biological or chemical toxin.
Class 2: Diseases or conditions of public health
					 importance of which individual cases shall be reported by mail, telephone, fax
					 or electronically, within 1 week of diagnosis. In outbreaks or other unusual
					 circumstances they shall be reported the same as Class 1. Class 2 diseases and
					 conditions are those for which an immediate public health response is not
					 needed for individual cases.

* Usually presents as meningitis or septicemia, or less
					 commonly as cellulitis, epiglottitis, osteomyelitis, pericarditis or septic
					 arthritis.
* Specimen obtained from a normally sterile site.
*Reports for poisonings shall be made to Mississippi Poison
					 Control Center, UMMC 1-800-222-1222.
**Elevated blood lead levels (as designated below) should
					 be reported to the MSDH Lead Program at (601) 576-7447.
Blood lead levels (venous) of 10 [MICRO]g/dL in children
					 less than 16 years of age
Blood lead levels (venous) of 25 [MICRO]g/dL in those 16
					 years or older
***TST- tuberculin skin test; IGRA- Interferon-Gamma
					 Release Assay Except for rabies, equine, and ratite encephalitis, diseases
					 occurring in animals are not required to be reported to the MSDH.
Class 3: Laboratory based surveillance. To be
					 reported by laboratories only. Diseases or conditions of public health
					 importance of which individual laboratory findings shall be reported by mail,
					 telephone, fax or electronically within one week of completion of laboratory
					 tests (refer to Appendix B of the Rules and Regulations Governing Reportable
					 Diseases and Conditions).

Class 4: Diseases of public health importance for
					 which immediate reporting is not necessary for surveillance or control efforts.
					 Diseases and conditions in this category shall be reported to the Mississippi
					 Cancer Registry within six months of the date of first contact for the
					 reportable condition.
The National Program of Cancer Registries at the Centers
					 for Disease Control and Prevention requires the collection of certain diseases
					 and conditions. A comprehensive reportable list including ICD9CM codes is
					 available on the Mississippi Cancer Registry website,
http://mcr.umc.edu/documents/ReportableCases10-09andlater.pdf
.
Each record shall provide a minimum set of data items which
					 meets the uniform standards required by the National Program of Cancer
					 Registries and documented in the North American Association of Central Cancer
					 Registries (NAACCR).
Laboratory Results that must be
Reported to the Mississippi State Department of
					 Health
Laboratories shall report these findings to the MSDH at
					 least
WEEKLY.
Diseases in
bold type
shall be reported
					 immediately by telephone. Isolates of organisms marked with a dagger (t) should
					 be sent to the MSDH Public Health Laboratory (PHL). All referring laboratories
					 should call the PHL at (601) 576-7582 prior to shipping any isolate.
					 Confirmatory tests for some of these results may be obtained by special
					 arrangement through the Epidemiology Program at (601) 576-7725.
