TB Reporting
What to Report
Both clinically suspected and laboratory confirmed tuberculosis disease are to be reported.
- Cases of both pulmonary and extrapulmonary disease should be reported to IDPH within one working day.
- Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is not reportable in Iowa, however IDPH does provide medication to treat LTBI to prevent progression to disease.
