Case-to-infection proportion refers to the ratio or percentage of confirmed cases of a certain disease or illness out of the total number of people who were infected. It is often used in the context of epidemiology and public health to assess the severity and spread of a disease. It is useful in understanding the likelihood of detection and diagnosis, as well as determining policy responses for controlling the spread of the disease.
