INVESTIGATION OF OUTBREAKS
STEPS IN AN OUTBREAK
INVESTIGATION
STEP 1: Determine
existence of the outbreak
STEP 2: Confirm a
diagnosis
STEP 3: Determine
the number of cases
STEP 4:Organize
information according to time, place and persons
STEP 5: Determine who is at risk of
becoming sick
STEP 6:Formulate
hypotheses
STEP 7: Do analysis
of data
CHAPTER
IV.
INTERVENTION MEASURES
STEP 8: Develop control
measures
CHAPTER
V.
CONCLUSIONS AND DISSEMINATION
STEP 9: Make
conclusions and recommendations
STEP 10: Do a final
report
