Invasive Candidiasis (IC) Information for Health Professionals:
Sentinel Surveillance Case Definition and Reporting

On January 1, 2017, MDH initiated population-based invasive candidiasis surveillance in the 7-county metro area (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington Counties). At this time, only reports of bloodstream infections (candidemia) are being requested. Invasive candidiasis is not reportable statewide under the Minnesota Communicable Diseases Reporting Rule.
