Ebola disease or any other viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) are reportable conditions in Texas. Clinicians and facilities are directed to contact their local health department or public health region by using the contact information provided at the link or by calling 800-705-8868.
Several Texas laws (Tex. Health & Safety Code, Chapters 81, 84, and 87) require specific information regarding notifiable conditions to be provided to DSHS. Health care providers, hospitals, laboratories, schools, and others are required to report patients who are suspected or confirmed of having a notifiable condition (25 Tex. Admin. Code §97.2).
