Respiratory Syndrome in the Netherlands in Relation to Pathogen Activity
Content Type: Abstract
Syndromic surveillance may be suited for detection of emerging respiratory disease elevations that could pass undiagnosed. The syndromes under surveillance should then retrospectively reflect known respiratory pathogen activity. To validate this for… read more -
Greater Pathogenicity of Norovirus Strains in 2003? A Syndromic Approach
Content Type: Abstract
Although norovirus (NoV) is the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis (ewinter vomiting diseaseÃ), its contribution to mortality remains unknown and may be an unrecognized problem [1]. In Europe a genetic shift in circulating NoV strains was… read more -
Syndromic Surveillance for a Large Respiratory Disease Outbreak by Legionella in the Netherlands
Content Type: Abstract
To evaluate the added value of a syndromic surveillance system in detecting a large severe respiratory disease outbreak with a point-source we used the Legionnaires' disease (LD) outbreak of 1999 in the Netherlands as a case-study. We… read more -
Syndromic Surveillance for Detection of Increased Morbidity and Mortality by Influenza
Content Type: Abstract
To evaluate whether a rise or shift in severe morbidity and mortality by influenza can be detected with syndromic surveillance. -
Syndromic Surveillance for Localized Outbreaks of Lower-Respiratory Infections: Does it Work?
Content Type: Abstract
To evaluate whether syndromic surveillance can detect localized outbreaks of lower-respiratory infections (LRI's) with limited numbers of alarms in time. -
Laboratory Preparedness for Pandemic Influenza: Estimating the Potential Magnitude of Diagnostic Demand through Trends in Respiratory Illness
Content Type: Abstract
To estimate diagnostic demand in case of pandemic threat using trends in respiratory syndromes (as input for a laboratory preparedness program). -
Syndromic Surveillance with Death Data: a Pilot Study in the Netherlands
Content Type: Abstract
Crude mortality could be valuable for infectious disease surveillance if available in a complete and timely fashion. Such data can be of used for detecting, and tracking the impact of unusual health events (e.g. pandemic… read more -
Syndromic Surveillance with Death Data: Is Crude Mortality Data Suitable for Real Time Surveillance?
Content Type: Abstract
Crude mortality could be valuable for infectious disease surveillance if available in a complete and timely fashion. Syndromic surveillance with weekly deaths has been demonstrated to be useful in France. Such data can be of use… read more
