Disease Control

Disease Control houses several programs that focus on the prevention, surveillance, and control of infectious diseases. The Disease Control Program is responsible for the systematic collection, interpretation, analysis, dissemination and consolidation of data pertaining to the occurrence of a specific disease. This unit also studies the distribution and determinants of health and disease in populations, morbidity, injuries, disability, and mortality. The HIV/AIDS Program offers testing and counseling to targeted populations and offers case management services to county residents who are living with HIV. The STD program provides a variety of services related to the prevention and treatment of sexually-transmitted infections, including screening, diagnosis, treatment, counseling, and referral.  The Tuberculosis Program offers many services including initial screening as required for employment, immigration, and school entrance, as well as diagnosis and treatment to DuPage County residents exposed to tuberculosis disease. Immunizations for persons traveling abroad are also offered by Disease Control staff.
