² Outbreak case definitions are developed by the outbreak investigation team for each outbreak and specify case definition criteria in person, place, and time for cases that are included in the outbreak. Cases meeting the outbreak case definition often also meet the surveillance case definition; however, there are many exceptions.

³ If the symptom onset date is unknown, then the date that the patient first tested positive (i.e., specimen collection date) for the hepatitis virus being reported on this form can be used as a proxy for symptom onset date.
