Follow-up actions

Background

Responsibilities of the disease investigator do not stop on departure from the site. Even if the case itself does not require follow up, contact should be maintained with the pelsa who reported the case. Any samples taken must be packaged and sent to the laboratory in accordance with the requirements/instructions of the testing laboratory, and any samples for examination by the investigator should be managed appropriately. The information noted from the history and clinical examination should be managed to restrict the differential diagnosis and confirm that any treatment provided has been appropriate. There may be a requirement for further investigation in the case of spreading, wide ranging or novel disease or there may be an indication that control measures are necessary.
