Although cryptosporidiosis has been a nationally notifiable disease since 1995, surveillance estimates are undermined by limited diagnostic testing and incomplete reporting of cases to health authorities. Further, existing surveillance systems do not capture the specific risks of cryptosporidiosis to sensitive populations, such as the elderly population. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services databases present a novel means to investigate the cryptosporidiosis burden in the US elderly population.
