Case burden is the burden of disease or other impact that can be attributed to one case or unit, e.g. disease burden per one case of cancer. Typically it is calculated as

case burden = disability weight caused by the disease * duration of the disease.

Case burden can also be monetary losses attributed one case.

For case burdens attributed to waterborne diseases, see Case burden of waterborne microbes.
