An epi curve is a visual display of the onset of illness among cases associated with an outbreak. You can learn a lot about an outbreak from an epi curve, such as. Time trend of the outbreak, that is, the distribution of cases over time “Outliers,” or cases that stand apart from the overall pattern; General sense of the outbreak's magnitude

The epi curve is an essential tool in an outbreak investigation and a key feature of descriptive epidemiology. It can provide useful information on the size, pattern of spread, time trend, and exposure period of the outbreak, and is often included in the epidemiological (epi) summary.
Analysis of the epicurve can reveal temporal trends, outliers, the magnitude of the outbreak, the most likely time period of exposure, time intervals between case generations, and can even help identify the mode of transmission of an unidentified disease (e.g. point source, continuous common source, person-to-person propagation).
An epidemic curve, also known as an epi curve or epidemiological curve, is a statistical chart used in epidemiology to visualise the onset of a disease outbreak. It can help with the identification of the mode of transmission of the disease.

Using an Epi Curve to Determine Most Likely Period of Exposure. This Quick Learn lesson will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. When you are finished, you will be able to interpret an epidemic curve or “epi curve”, and determine the likely period of exposure that led to the outbreak.
