Under the Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP), the 'S' form, 'P' form, and 'L' form refer to data reported by:
- A Syndromic (community/sub-centre), Presumptive (PHC), and Laboratory-confirmed data ✓
- B Statistical, Projected, and Laboratory data
- C State, Primary, and Local health authorities
- D Symptomatic, Probable, and Linked (contact tracing) cases
Correct answer: A. Syndromic (community/sub-centre), Presumptive (PHC), and Laboratory-confirmed data
Explanation
IDSP uses three forms: S-form (Syndromic) — community/ASHA/sub-centre level reporting symptom clusters; P-form (Presumptive/Probable) — PHC/CHC level clinician-reported cases based on clinical diagnosis; L-form (Laboratory) — confirmed laboratory data. This tiered reporting allows rapid detection and response to potential outbreaks even before laboratory confirmation is available.
