Guidance for investigating non-infectious disease clusters from potential environmental causes
Guidance for investigating non-infectious disease clusters from potential environmental causes
Health England (PHE) by concerned citizens or health care professionals. This investigation follows
a well-established process based on regional, national and international guidance. For
non-infectious diseases (or infectious diseases without person-to-person transmission),
disease specific cluster guidance has been developed for particular situations, eg
Legionnaires disease, cancer clusters or congenital anomalies. . This guidance
is therefore proposed to help investigate any clusters of non-infectious diseases
including clusters of unusual illnesses not covered by existing guidelines.
