My understanding...you can tell me where I have gone wrong...is that
there is NO "CDC diagnostic" standard per se.

There is the CDC case definition which, as it has stressed multiple
times is NOT suitable for diagnostic purposes.

The standard is also used for the qualification of research
subjects...to qualify those participants under a uniform standard.

The CDC criteria for surveillance are used as Steere puts it "usually"
as a diagnostic tool...by analysing the Western Blot according to the
surveillance standard.
