Question

question 8
which illness needs to be reported to the regulatory authority?
○ hepatitis a
○ influenza
○ scombroid poisoning
○ botulism

Explanation:

Hepatitis A is a reportable disease. Regulatory authorities need to be informed about it for public health management, including tracking outbreaks, implementing preventive measures (like vaccination campaigns in affected areas), and ensuring proper infection control in healthcare and community settings. Influenza (except certain types like avian influenza in specific contexts which is a different scenario) and scombroid poisoning (a type of food poisoning usually managed at a local level without broad - scale regulatory reporting in the same sense as Hepatitis A) and botulism (while serious, not as commonly reportable in the general sense as Hepatitis A in many standard regulatory frameworks) do not typically fall under the same mandatory regulatory reporting requirements as Hepatitis A.

Answer:

Hepatitis A
