MO SB1630

Department of Health and Senior Services must designate noncommunicable diseases of public health concern and establish rules to prevent their spread and determine prevalence in Missouri

Alpha-gal syndrome and Lyme disease are required to be added to the list of reportable noncommunicable diseases

Case reports must be submitted to the department within 7 days of positive laboratory confirmation, with health care providers reporting most cases and laboratories reporting alpha-gal syndrome cases

Alpha-gal syndrome reporting is triggered when immunoglobulin E levels reach ≥0.1 IU/mL or ≥0.1 kU/L, using an electronic reporting system developed by the department

Department must follow up on alpha-gal cases using random sampling to confirm they meet CDC surveillance case definitions and submit annual reports to the CDC summarizing findings
