The IDCM is designed to be a reference for local health departments, hospitals, laboratories and physicians in providing information about infectious diseases from a public health perspective, including prevention, control and reporting of suspected and diagnosed cases. This manual is updated at least annually to reflect changes in public health practices and disease prevention and control activities.
