Community members also play an important role in surveillance by facilitating early detection and action to priority DCEs. Community members should be oriented in surveillance so that they actively participate in detecting, reporting, responding to and monitoring events related to human, animal and environmental health in their community. Various public health events and/or risks may also present at Points of Entry (PoE); and these health events can be recognized before, during or after travel, often when travellers have already left the PoE. Staff at such PoEs must be vigilant in ensuring that these events are identified, and reported on time to facilitate response. Surveillance priorities may be communicable or non-communicable DCEs. These may include events associated with animal health which might have direct consequences to human health. An essential function of a public health surveillance system is to be vigilant in its capacity to detect not only known public health threats with established case definitions and formal reporting channels but also events or hazards that are not specifically included in the formal reporting system. These may be events such as clusters of disease patterns or rumours of unexplained deaths. These diseases, conditions, and events may come to the attention of the health system in several ways. For example: A person falls ill and seeks treatment from a health facility; High rate of hospital admission for the same diseases or symptoms; Community members report unusual events or occurrences at local levels such as a cluster of deaths or unusual disease pattern to the health facility, or perhaps a school might report unusual absenteeism due to similar signs and symptoms such as an influenza-like illness (ILI); Health workers conduct routine record reviews to find cases for a specific disease and observe that cases of another priority disease have not been reported. For example, an officer who normally reviews the clinic register for cases of Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) also finds a case of cholera has recently been recorded in the clinic register; Health workers conduct routine record reviews of the laboratory register and observe recorded confirmed cases of priority diseases such as yellow fever or cholera; Radio, television, newspapers, or social media report a rumour of rare or unexplained events in the area with potential exposure for humans; Vital events records show an increase in maternal deaths; Unusual reports of illness among health care workers; Analysis of the routine reports from health facilities; An unusual death or number of deaths among animals (such as livestock, birds, rodent species, wild animals, fish) or an unusually high number of sick animals with the same signs; Environmental officers observed during assessment of water bodies, contamination which might be due to chemicals like lead or other chemicals related to mining or agricultural activities, which might be an early trigger for public health interventions.

Events can also be identified through the one health approach. For example, detection of a rabid animal or reports of animal illness from veterinary personnel can initiate investigations of human cases of disease, reports of human diseases can also be traced through exposure to chemical hazards within the environment.

Additionally, they are also required to report immediately, any epidemic prone disease to the next level. Case-based surveillance: involves the ongoing and rapid identification of identifiable cases for purpose of case follow-up. This method of surveillance is used for diseases that are targeted for elimination or eradication or during confirmed outbreaks. In these scenarios, every individual case identified is reported immediately to the next level using a case-based form. Sentinel surveillance: This method of surveillance is done for specific conditions in a specific cohort such as in a geographical area or population subgroup to estimate trends in a larger population. A given number of health facilities or reporting sites are usually designated as sentinel sites for monitoring rate of occurrence of priority events such as pandemic or epidemic events and other Public Health Emergencies (PHEs). They act as early warning and reporting sites. Sentinel sites are usually designated because they are representative of an area or are in an area of likely risk for a disease or condition of concern. Examples of diseases/ conditions under sentinel surveillance in Uganda include: Influenza, Malaria, Plague, Cancers, Rotavirus, Paediatric Bacterial Meningitis (PBM) and environmental sewage sampling for polio etc. Syndromic surveillance: an active or passive system that uses Standard Case Definitions based entirely on clinical features without any laboratory diagnosis. Examples include; collecting the number of cases of Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) as an alert for polio, acute watery diarrhoea among people aged two years and older as an alert for cholera, 'febrile rash illness' as an alert for measles, acute haemorrhagic fever (AHF) as an alert for viral haemorrhagic diseases, severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) or influenza-like illness (ILI) as alerts for influenza. Because of the lack of specificity of this system, reports require more investigation from higher levels. Laboratory-based surveillance: Laboratories can be the source of an initial alert for a specific outbreak or public health event that necessitates further epidemiological investigations. For example, the laboratory may be the first to detect the emergence of resistant strains in the community such as multi-drug resistant tuberculosis. Other examples of laboratory-based surveillance include virological surveillance and bacteriological surveillance. Uganda is part of the WHO Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (GLASS), which is a surveillance system for clinical specimens and is focusing initially on priority human bacterial infections namely; E. coli, K. pneumonia, S. aureus, S. pneumoniae, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp and Neisseria. gonorrhoea. This type of laboratory surveillance provides information about antimicrobial resistance incidence, prevalence, and trends. Disease-specific surveillance: This involves surveillance activities aimed at targeted health data for a specific disease. Examples include Tuberculosis, Malaria and HIV surveillance systems.","### Instruction: Below is a conversation between a human and an AI agent.

The first one relies on identifying and reporting events based on agreed indicators (community case definitions). For example, village health teams are trained to identify diseases such as measles, cholera, polio and Guinea worm, using community case definition and use standardized reporting system to the next level. The second strategy relies on reporting of unusual events (alerts) which can inform of early stages of an outbreak or any other public health threat in the community. Alerts may capture a wide variety of unusual events emerging at the community level and information from these alerts may be incomplete and unconfirmed and as such they all need to be triaged and verified. Information using this strategy can also come from people who have already been oriented on the agreed indicators (community case definitions) for example the VHTs and any other representatives from community. Often CBS focal persons would link the patient identified through any of the strategies, to nearby health facility and can help identify contacts. Communities and designated community focal points are trained and empowered to be aware of potential health risks including emerging events that might indicate a new health risk, close monitoring for notifiable and seasonal diseases or signs of an existing disease outbreak. An event that appears ‘unusual’ to the community might be to a health-trained professional an early warning sign of a more serious and larger health risk or public health event.","### Instruction: Below is a conversation between a human and an AI agent.

Respond to the human questions posed appropriately. + +### Input: How do you conduct risk Assessment with respect to guidelines for establishing event-based surveillance at district levels? + +### Response: (a) Once a signal is verified as an event, risk assessment begins. Risk assessment is a systematic and continuous process for gathering, assessing and documenting information to provide the basis for actions to manage and reduce the negative consequences of an acute public health event. (b) The first risk assessment of an event should take place within 48 hours of the detection of one or more signals. (c) The District health team should lead the risk assessment with support from the regional and national team. (d) For a signal that has been substantiated as a true event but does not pose an immediate threat to the public, the team should monitor the event and undertake risk assessments when new information becomes available (refer to section 4 of these Technical Guidelines)." +What are the points To Consider with respect to guidelines for establishing event-based surveillance at health facility levels?,"Indicator-Based Surveillance (IBS) in health facilities encompasses immediate, weekly or monthly reporting of pre-determined list of diseases based on case definitions. Health facility based EBS trains clinicians, nurses, and other relevant healthcare professionals to report on pattern of disease alerts, such as a cluster of illnesses. EBS may allow for detection of emerging or re-emerging public health threats because it is not disease-specific, requires immediate notification, and is highly sensitive and broad. Additionally, since reporting does not require laboratory results for reporting and relies on clinicians’ experience, EBS is more practical and fairly simple to establish and sustain. Health facilities should participate in both IBS and EBS since the two complement each other leading to early detection of diseases, conditions and events.","### Instruction: Below is a conversation between a human and an AI agent.

It is caused by infection with Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria, and is both treatable and preventable. Infections often begin during infancy or childhood and can become chronic. If left untreated, the infection eventually causes the eyelid to turn inwards, which in turn causes the eyelashes to rub on the eyeball, resulting in intense pain and scarring of the front of the eye. This ultimately leads to irreversible blindness, typically between 30 and 40 years of age.","### Instruction: Below is a conversation between a human and an AI agent.

Rabies infects domestic and wild animals, and is spread to people through close contact with infected saliva (via bites or scratches). Dogs are the main carrier of rabies in Africa and are responsible for most (approximately 97%) of the human rabies deaths worldwide. The rabies virus infects the central nervous system, causing disease in the brain and, eventually, death. Early symptoms in people include: fever, headache, and general weakness or discomfort. As the disease progresses, symptoms include; insomnia, anxiety, confusion, slight or partial paralysis, excitation, hallucinations, increase in saliva, difficulty swallowing, and fear of water. Control of rabies in dog populations and access to human rabies post exposure prophylaxis can substantially reduce the burden of rabies in human populations. Rapid and accurate laboratory diagnosis of rabies in humans and other animals is essential for timely administration of post-exposure prophylaxis. Within a few hours, a diagnostic laboratory can determine whether or not an animal is rabid and inform the responsible medical personnel.","### Instruction: Below is a conversation between a human and an AI agent.

Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases, 6th edition." +Explain Polio.,"Poliomyelitis (polio) is a highly infectious viral disease that largely affects children under 5 years of age. Incubation period is 7 to 14 days for paralytic cases and the range is approximately 3 to 35 days. Poliovirus (genus Enterovirus) serotypes 1, 2, and 3 are transmitted from person-to-person via faecal-oral spread. The virus may be shed for several years by immuno-compromised persons. Infection is usually asymptomatic, but may cause a febrile syndrome with or without meningitis. In less than 5% of infections paralysis results, often of a single leg. Areas with low vaccine coverage may allow ongoing wild-type transmission. Paralytic polio, though not fatal, has devastating social and economic consequences among affected individuals. The Polio Eradication Program has nearly halted ongoing wild-type polio transmission worldwide through use of oral poliovirus (OPV) vaccine. Globally, poliovirus type 2 appears to have been eliminated. Serotypes 1 and 3 polioviruses still circulate in three endemic countries including Nigeria in Africa and surveillance is not yet adequate to assure eradication in many countries. Other neurological illnesses may cause AFP, for example, Guillain-Barre syndrome and transverse myelitis.","### Instruction: Below is a conversation between a human and an AI agent.

Noma results from complex interactions between risk factors such as poor sanitation, malnutrition, recurrent illnesses, and compromised immunity. Diseases that commonly precede noma include measles, malaria, severe diarrhea, and necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis. Early detection and treatment with antibiotics is key to preventing severe disfigurement or death. In the acute stage, death can be prevented with high doses of penicillin; however disfigurement can only be treated with costly surgery. Prevention should focus on education and awareness of the disease, improved nutrition and household hygiene, promotion of exclusive breastfeeding in the first 3-6 months of life, access to prenatal care, and immunizations against common childhood diseases. Clinical features include soreness of the mouth, pronounced halitosis (bad smelling breath), fetid taste, tenderness of the lip or cheek, cervical lymphadenopathy, a foul-smelling purulent oral discharge, and a blue-black discoloration of the skin and swelling in the affected area.","### Instruction: Below is a conversation between a human and an AI agent.

It is caused by a retrovirus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Sexual intercourse, needle injections, transfusions, trans-placental or trans-vaginal routes, breast milk or other direct contact with infected human body fluids transmits the virus from human to human. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) results in late-stage HIV infection and immuno-suppression, with reduced numbers and function to T-lymphocytes. Primary HIV- related organ involvement and a variety of opportunistic infections result in death unless the growth of the virus is stopped by drugs that can kill the virus (antiretroviral therapy). When HIV infection progresses to illness, the symptoms are usually due to the failure of the immune system to resist other infectious diseases called opportunistic infections (OI). These include tuberculosis, bacterial pneumonia or sepsis, oro-pharyngeal candidiasis, chronic diarrhoea, chronic skin infections, recurrent herpes zoster, and others. Incubation period is approximately 1 to 3 months from the time of infection to the time that antibodies can be detected in a laboratory process. The time from HIV infection to the onset of AIDS is generally 7 to 9 years.","### Instruction: Below is a conversation between a human and an AI agent.

For children younger than 18 months, HIV infection is diagnosed based on positive virological test for HIV or its components (HIV-RNA or HIV-DNA or ultrasensitive HIV p24 antigen) confirmed by a second virological test obtained from a separate determination taken more than four weeks after birth. Positive HIV antibody testing is not recommended for definitive or confirmatory diagnosis of HIV infection in children until 18 months of age." +What are the references for New AIDS Cases?,"1.

The disease is transmitted when spores enter open wounds (like injections, cutting the umbilical cord) or breaks in the skin. Though tetanus can occur in adults, the infection primarily affects newborns. Neonatal tetanus has significantly decreased in countries with improved maternal tetanus immunization rates. As a result, many African countries target tetanus for elimination. The incubation period ranges from 3 to 21 days, averaging approximately 6 days.","### Instruction: Below is a conversation between a human and an AI agent.

Webpage: www.who.int/lymphatic filariasis." +Explain Lassa and Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fevers.,"Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) belongs to the Bunyaviridae virus family and Lassa fever belongs to the Arenaviridae virus family. The animal reservoir of the Lassa virus is a rodent of the genus Mastomys. Mastomys infected with Lassa virus do not become ill but shed the virus in their excreta (urine and faeces) and humans usually become infected through aerosol or direct contact with excreta of infected rodents. Lassa fever can also be spread between humans through direct contact with the blood, pharyngeal secretions, urine, faeces or other body secretions of an infected person. Person-to-person transmission of both CCHF and Lassa fever has occurred in health care settings after exposure to blood and secretions of infected patients. The incubation period for CCHF following a tick bite is usually 1-3 days (max 9 days) and following contact with blood or tissues is usually 5-6 days (max 13 days). The incubation period for Lassa fever ranges from 6-21 days. The onset of symptoms among CCHF patients is sudden with fever, myalgia and other signs and symptoms. The reported case fatality ratio for CCHF is between 3% and 30%. About 80% of human Lassa fever infections are mild or asymptomatic; the remaining cases have severe multi-system disease. The onset of disease in symptomatic patients is usually gradual starting with fever, general weakness and malaise.

The energy causing the injury can be mechanical, electrical, thermal, radiant, or chemical. Injury is classified as intentional and unintentional. All injuries account for 10% of the world's deaths. 5.8 million People die each year as a result of different types of injuries. Of all the systems that people deal with on a daily basis; road transport is the most complex and the most dangerous. Road traffic accidents result in unintentional injury.

This category encompasses a wide range of illnesses, such as cholera, shigellosis, salmonellosis, and hepatitis A, among others. A foodborne illness occurs when two or more individuals consume a common food or drink and subsequently exhibit symptoms within a short timeframe. Most affected individuals don't seek medical care, so many cases and outbreaks go unrecognized and unreported. Initial symptoms typically manifest in the gastrointestinal tract, including nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. Outbreaks can range from localized incidents involving a small group of people to extensive, geographically widespread events. Large outbreaks often result from food contamination prior to widespread distribution. Surveillance is crucial to monitor food safety, promote safe food practices, and improve personal hygiene among food handlers.","### Instruction: Below is a conversation between a human and an AI agent.

Since the discovery of the Ebola virus in 1976, almost 3,000 cases have been documented with over 1,900 deaths. Major outbreaks of Ebola have occurred in countries including Sudan, DRC, Cote d'Ivoire, Gabon, Uganda, and Congo. Marburg virus outbreaks have led to over 500 cases and 400 deaths, notably in the DRC, Angola, and Uganda. Transmission of these viruses occurs through direct contact with the blood, secretions, organs, or other body fluids of infected individuals. Ingestion of infected chimpanzees, gorillas, and forest antelopes has been documented as a transmission route. Bats are suspected to be natural reservoirs. Epidemics can amplify in healthcare facilities without proper infection control. The incubation period ranges from 2 to 21 days. Hemorrhagic manifestations vary, and case fatality ratios during outbreaks range from 25% to 90% for Ebola and 25% to 80% for Marburg. There's no specific treatment, with patients often requiring intensive supportive care.

WO/EMC/DIS/97.7." +What is Guinea worm disease?,"Dracunculiasis, commonly referred to as Guinea worm disease, is caused by a large nematode - a disabling parasite that emerges through an individual's skin. An ancient disease, Dracunculiasis has adverse socio-economic impacts on patients. Transmission occurs when one consumes water containing cyclops, a crustacean infested by the nematode larvae. The Cyclops thrives in stagnant water sources such as ponds and traditional shallow wells. When the nematode-infected person's skin comes into contact with water, the female nematode releases. The disease's incubation period ranges between 9 to 12 months. There's neither a treatment nor a vaccine for this disease. Due to extensive disease control strategies by endemic countries and international partners, the number of cases has significantly reduced. By 2008, only 4619 cases were reported worldwide, a stark decrease from the 892,000 reported in 1989.

An ancient disease, Dracunculiasis has adverse socio-economic impacts on patients. Transmission occurs when one consumes water containing cyclops, a crustacean infested by the nematode larvae. The Cyclops thrives in stagnant water sources such as ponds and traditional shallow wells. When the nematode-infected person's skin comes into contact with water, the female nematode releases. The disease's incubation period ranges between 9 to 12 months. There's neither a treatment nor a vaccine for this disease. Due to extensive disease control strategies by endemic countries and international partners, the number of cases has significantly reduced. By 2008, only 4619 cases were reported worldwide, a stark decrease from the 892,000 reported in 1989.

District Laboratory Practice in Tropical countries, Cambridge" +Explain Dengue Fever.,"Dengue fever is an arbovirus transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, including both Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopiticus. It is caused by four closely related viruses: dengue virus (DENV) 1, 2, 3, and 4. Dengue is prevalent in tropical and sub-tropical regions, primarily in urban and semi-urban areas. The disease can present as a severe, influenza-like illness in infants, young children, and adults. Dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a potentially fatal complication, especially common in Asia. Sequential infection with different dengue virus serotypes can increase the risk of severe disease. Epidemic dengue activity in Africa has been mostly mild, but a significant outbreak of DENV-3 occurred in Mozambique in 1984-1985. The main carriers of the virus are infected humans, and the primary transmission mode is through Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. There's no specific treatment for dengue, but appropriate medical care can be life-saving. The only prevention method currently available is controlling the vector mosquitoes.","### Instruction: Below is a conversation between a human and an AI agent.

The disease is transmitted mainly through the faecal-oral route, i.e., through consuming contaminated food or water. Cholera results in over 100,000 deaths annually and can produce rapidly advancing epidemics or global pandemics. In endemic regions, sporadic cases and small outbreaks can occur. The incubation period ranges from a few hours to 5 days. Since the mid-1980s, there has been a resurgence of cholera in Africa. Cholera can lead to severe dehydration within a few hours, and without treatment, the fatality rate may exceed 50%. With proper treatment at a healthcare facility, the fatality rate is usually less than 1%. About 90% of the cases are mild and often go undiagnosed. Risk factors include consuming contaminated foods, lack of access to clean water, attending large gatherings, and contact with cholera patients.","### Instruction: Below is a conversation between a human and an AI agent.

The disease resembles dengue fever, and is characterized by severe, sometimes persistent, joint pain (arthritis), as well as fever and rash. It is rarely life-threatening. Nevertheless, widespread occurrence of diseases causes substantial morbidity and economic loss. The word chikungunya is Makonde for that which bends up, in reference to the stooped posture of patients afflicted with the severe joint pain associated with the disease. Epidemics of fever, rash and arthritis, resembling Chikungunya fever were recorded as early as 1779. However, the virus was first isolated between 1952-1953 from both man and mosquitoes during an epidemic, in Tanzania. Chikungunya fever historically displayed interesting epidemiological profiles in that: major epidemics appeared and disappeared cyclically, usually with an inter-epidemic period of 7-8 years and sometimes as long as 20 years. After a long period of absence, outbreaks appeared in Indonesia in 1999 and have been virtually ongoing since 2004.","### Instruction: Below is a conversation between a human and an AI agent.

Ulcere de Buruli , prise en charge de l'infection a Mycobacterium ulcerans" +Explain Anthrax (human).,"Anthrax is a widespread zoonotic disease caused by the spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis, a Gram positive rod-shaped bacterium. A. It is transmitted from infected domestic livestock (cattle, sheep, goats, buffaloes, pigs and others) or wild game animals to humans by direct contact or indirect contact with animals or their products. The incubation period typically ranges from 1 to 7 days, but may be longer (up to two to three weeks for cutaneous anthrax and up to 42 days for inhalation anthrax).

Common source epidemics have been related to contaminated water and to contamination via infected food handlers. In general, both HAV and HEV are self-limiting viral infections; case fatality is normally low (0.1 _ 0.3%). Women in the third trimester of pregnancy are especially susceptible to fulminant HEV disease. Both HAV and HEV are transmitted via the faecal-oral route. Prevention and control measures for hepatitis A and hepatitis E include adequate supplies of safe-drinking water and improvement of sanitary and hygienic practices to eliminate faecal contamination of food and water. Viral hepatitis B and viral hepatitis C: Estimates indicate that worldwide, there are 350 million carriers of hepatitis B virus and 170 million carriers of hepatitis C virus. Hepatitis B and C epidemics are uncommon. Chronic infection and severe sequelae occur with hepatitis B_ an estimated 15% to 25% of chronically infected persons will die prematurely of either cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Chronic infection is common in hepatitis C and 5% to 20% of those infected with HCV may develop cirrhosis. There seems to be a connection between HCV infection and hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatitis B is transmitted by percutaneous or permucosal exposure to blood or other infectious body fluids. Major modes of transmission include sexual contact with an infected person, perinatal transmission from mother to infant, shared needles or syringes among injecting drug users, household contact (e.g., communally used razors and toothbrushes) and nosocomial exposure (transfusions, unsafe injection practices). In most countries where HBV is highly endemic, most infections occur during infancy and early childhood. Hepatitis C is transmitted by parenteral exposure to blood and plasma derivatives. It is found in highest concentrations in blood. The major causes of HCV infection worldwide are use of unscreened blood transfusions and re-use of needles and syringes that have not been adequately sterilised. Prevention and control measures for hepatitis B and C include transfusion safety, safe and appropriate use of injections and vaccination (hepatitis B). There is no specific treatment for acute viral hepatitis A, B, C and D.","### Instruction: Below is a conversation between a human and an AI agent.

Common source epidemics have been related to contaminated water and to contamination via infected food handlers. In general, both HAV and HEV are self-limiting viral infections; case fatality is normally low (0.1 _ 0.3%). Women in the third trimester of pregnancy are especially susceptible to fulminant HEV disease. Both HAV and HEV are transmitted via the faecal-oral route. Prevention and control measures for hepatitis A and hepatitis E include adequate supplies of safe-drinking water and improvement of sanitary and hygienic practices to eliminate faecal contamination of food and water. Viral hepatitis B and viral hepatitis C: Estimates indicate that worldwide, there are 350 million carriers of hepatitis B virus and 170 million carriers of hepatitis C virus. Hepatitis B and C epidemics are uncommon. Chronic infection and severe sequelae occur with hepatitis B_ an estimated 15% to 25% of chronically infected persons will die prematurely of either cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Chronic infection is common in hepatitis C and 5% to 20% of those infected with HCV may develop cirrhosis. There seems to be a connection between HCV infection and hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatitis B is transmitted by percutaneous or permucosal exposure to blood or other infectious body fluids. Major modes of transmission include sexual contact with an infected person, perinatal transmission from mother to infant, shared needles or syringes among injecting drug users, household contact (e.g., communally used razors and toothbrushes) and nosocomial exposure (transfusions, unsafe injection practices). In most countries where HBV is highly endemic, most infections occur during infancy and early childhood. Hepatitis C is transmitted by parenteral exposure to blood and plasma derivatives. It is found in highest concentrations in blood. The major causes of HCV infection worldwide are use of unscreened blood transfusions and re-use of needles and syringes that have not been adequately sterilised. Prevention and control measures for hepatitis B and C include transfusion safety, safe and appropriate use of injections and vaccination (hepatitis B).
