What to know
Fungal disease reporting varies by state. Coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever) and Candida auris (C. auris) are nationally notifiable diseases; health departments voluntarily submit data to CDC. Some states report on blastomycosis and histoplasmosis. Other types of fungal diseases, like cryptococcosis, and conditions, like fungal meningitis, are reported in select states. Check with your local health department about disease reporting procedures in your state.

Standardized national surveillance for fungal diseases
The Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, with CDC programs, determines which diseases are nationally notifiable and approves standardized case definitions. Health departments voluntarily submit data on notifiable diseases to CDC's National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System.
Two fungal diseases are nationally notifiable:
- Coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever)
- Clinical cases of Candida auris infection
These fungal diseases or conditions have standardized case definitions but are not nationally notifiable:
- C. auris may be implicitly reportable in additional states as an emerging or unusual disease or as a pathogen causing outbreaks. Please contact state or local public health departments for further details.
- Rhode Island: Histoplasmosis is reportable as a rare or unusual condition.
- Washington: Coccidioidomycosis is reportable as a rare disease of public health significance.
