Case Search

Before adding a new case to the application, it is recommended to perform a search to verify whether or not the case number or mother already exists in the database. In addition, you can perform an HBsAg Infants search to retrieve a listing of cases containing infants that tested HBsAg-positive.

HBsAg Infants Search

The HBsAg Infants search retrieves a list of cases for infants that tested HBsAg-positive. All mothers with an HBsAg-positive infant appear in the list. Only one infant name displays per mother. If the mother has multiple infants, the infant with the most recent birthdate is displayed. For multiple births, the first infant found by the database is displayed.

To perform an HBsAg Infants search, click the Search > HBsAg Infants menu link. The search results appear on a new page. The following columns/fields are displayed:

Case #	The assigned case number (mother in the first row, infant in the second row).
