PREFACE

This manual has been prepared for guiding the medical officers of all primary
and secondary level health institutions in Karnataka on surveillance of infectious
diseases and non-infectious diseases of public health importance.

This manual includes the basic information on disease surveillance, method of

reporting case definitions, types of surveillance and reporting formats for various

diseases.

The medical officers are requested to study this manual carefully and
understand the importance of accurate and timely reporting, so that, timely and
appropriate measures can be taken by the designated agencies to control the diseases.

GUIDELINES FOR SURVEILLANCE
Burden of Diseases:

The burden of infectious diseases in the state is very high. Infectious diseases
are major causes of morbidity and mortality in children as well as all hospital
admissions. Tuberculosis and malaria are leading causes of death. Diseases, hitherto

unknown to Karnataka, such as Japanese Encephalitis and Dengue fever are spreading.

The population is undergoing socio-economic transition or change on account
of urbanisation, increased travel, reduced physical activities, changing food and
lifestyles. This has resulted in the increased prevalence of non-infectious diseases like

-coronary thrombosis, hypertension, diabetes, cancer etc..
Outbreaks of epidemics and increased prevalence of non-infectious diseases

cause heavy human and economic burden. Due to increased international travel there

is high risk of importing new infections with potential for an explosive outbreak e.g.,
X.

yellow fever. International health agencies such as WHO, enforce member countries to

comply with International Health Regulations so that the risk is minimised.
Need for Disease Control:

There is urgent need for disease control.

Some of the approaches for

controlling diseases which has been adopted so far are as follows:-

1. Prophylactic immunizafion (primary prophylaxis)/E.g., vaccine preventable
childhood diseases like Measles, Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus, Polio.

2. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment (secondary prophylaxis). E.g., TB,

Leprosy.
3. Vector control. E.g., Malaria.

4. Cost effective treatment have drastically reduced mortality due to some
diseases like Cholera and Plague.
I

5. Improving food hygiene, ensuring safe drinking, zoo prophylaxis prevent

outbreak of diseases like food and water borne diseases, flurosis rabies etc..

Disease Surveillance:
*

Any of these interventions are possible only when all the information pertaining

to the disease and its outbreak is available. Sporadic cases of infectious diseases turn
into epidemic outbreaks due to amplification and transmission of infectious agents
which happens silently.

Detecting diseases, its origin, distribution and clustering

(unusual occurrence of disease in many people at a time and place) are essential steps

to understand the phenomenon of amplification and transmission.

The word

surveillance is used for this process of reporting diseases of public health importance,
giving details of who is affected, how many, with what, where, when and how, to

institutions which takes measures. Surveillance is the first essential step before taking
action to control diseases. Continuous monitoring of the background phenomenon of
diseases are essential for early warning signals of any outbreak.

Importance of Disease Surveillance:

F

Surveillance is necessary for achieving disease eradication.

Systematic

surveillance of Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) is required for polio eradication.

Similarly, measles which is now targeted for eradication requires surveillance.

Surveillance helps to document impact of national programmes. Surveillance

system is essential to identifying the areas of low coverage and potential risk of

outbreaks. E.g., diphtheria.

Types of Surveillance:

Information regarding occurrence of diseases and their background may be

collected by two types of surveillance:

a) Passive surveillance: Where data is collected at sub-centre, PHC/PHU, CHC or

other health institution by health workers whenever a patient reports with a
particular disease under surveillance programme.
b) Active surveillance. Information gathered about a disease when a health worker

visits a household and collects data.

'w

(

Type

Reasons

1. Infectious

• Caused by a single agent.

• Easily preventable.
• Significant from public health view.

a. Targeting diseases for eradication.

E.g., polio,

measles.
b. Targeting diseases for elimination / control.

E.g., malaria.

c. Targeting for local control measures (outbreaks).
E.g., Gastroenteritis.

2. Non-infectious
F

a)

• Caused by multiple agents (factors).

• Requires designing of control strategies.

E.g., coronary heart disease, diabetes.

Diseases included for Surveillance:

Diseases which are being brought under district and state surveillance system
»

through KHSDP are as follows.
1. AIDS

9. Meningococcal disease

2. Bacillary dysentery

10. Neonatal tetanus

3. Cholera

11. Pertussis

4. Dengue

12. Plague

5. Diphtheria

13. Rabies

6. Japanese Encephalitis

14. Salmonellosis

7. Hepatitis

15. Syphillis

8. Measles

16. Tuberculosis

Reporting Diseases under Surveillance:

For effective surveillance, information has to flow continuously from the

peripheral health care services to the central agency. Three levels of reporting are
recognised:-

i.

Peripheral: Consisting of sub-centres of PHC/PHUs.

ii. Intermediate at District level.
*

iii. Central level: At Directorate of Health & Family Welfare Services.

Two types of reporting are essential for diseases:

a) Case based reporting: On occurrence of some diseases e.g., Cholera, Plague,

Japanese Encephalitis, which need constant monitoring and early & effective

control measures.
t

b) Aggregated monthly reporting:* For all diseases under surveillance.

The table below gives detail about reporting of diseases.

The success and sustainability of the surveillance system will depend largely on
the appropriateness and timeliness of responses elicited by disease reports,

Three

types of responses are expected from agency receiving the report:-

• Information feedback “

• Investigation for aetiology or risk factors
• Interventions for disease control

This critical link between information and action is often weak in surveillance
system and which needs to be strengthened.

RATIONALE FOR SURVEILLANCE
------ -----------------------------------Cnolera causes an estimation of 120 000 deaths per year and is prevalent in 80 countnes. In Africa
ec.demics have become more frequent and case fatality rates higher. The world is currently
exoeriencing the 7th pandemic. Refugee or displaced populations are at major risk of epidemics due
tc the conditions prevailing in the camps (unsafe water, poor sanitation and hygiene). Control of the
cisease requires appropnate surveillance with universal case resorting. Health education of
peculation at risk and improvement of living conditions of population are essential preventive
measures.
._____________ ___________________________________
’ RECOMMENDED CASE DEFINITION------------------------------------------------Clinical case definition
• In an area where the disease is not known to be present, severe dehydration or death from acute
watery diarrhoea in a patient aged 5 years or more or
• • In an area where there is a cholera epidemic, acute watery diarrhoea, with or without vomiting in
a patient aged 5 years or more*

Suspected:
A case that meets the clinical case definition
Probable:
Not applicable
Confirmed:
A suspected case that is laboratory-confirmed

■ted

Note: in a cholera-threatened area, when the number of "confirmed" cases rises, shift should be
made to using primarily the “suspected “case classification.

'Cholera does appear in children under 5 years, however, the inclusion of all cases of acute watery
diarrhoea in the 2-4 year age group in the reporting of cholera greatly reduces the specificity of
resorting. For management .of cases of acute watery diarrhoea rn an area where there is a cholera
epidemic, cholera should be suspected in all patients.

RECOMMENDED TYPES OF SURVEILLANCE
Routine surveillance (this may be integrated with surveillance of diarrhoeal diseases: see acute
watery diarrhoea).
Immediate case-based reporting of suspected cases from periphery to intermediate level and central
level. All suspected cases and clusters should be investigated.
Aggregated data on cases should also be included in routine weekly/monthly reports from peripheral
to intermediate and central level.
International:

The initial suspected cases should be reported to WHO (mandatory).
Aggregated data on cases should be reported tc WHO (mandatory).

Outbreak situations:
• During outbreak situations surveillance should be intensified with the introduction of active case
finding
• Laboratory confirmation should be performed as soon as possible
• i hereafter weekly repons of cases, ages, deaths, regions, and hospital admissions should be set
up

i RATIONALE FOR SURVEILLANCE

?
| Measles is targeted for elimination (9GPW 6.2). Surveillance for measles should evolve with each
phase of measles control. Countries in the “measles control" phase are endemic and should
concentrate on raising routine measles immunization coverage and focusing extra immunization
efforts in areas with high measles morbidity. Countnes in the more advanced “measles outbreak
prevention phase" are achieving high routine measles coverage and low incidence with periodic
outbreaks. Surveillance in these countries should be used to predict potential outbreaks and identify
risk outbreak. Countries in the most advanced “measles elimination phase" in which the objective is
to completely interrupt measles transmission require very intensive case-based surveillance to
detect, investigate, and confirm every suspect measles case in the community.

RECOMMENDED TYPE(S) OF SURVEILLANCE

Control phase: When measles is endemic, routine monthly reporting of aggregated data of clinical
cases from peripheral to intermediate and central level. Only outbreaks (not each case)
should be investigated.
International: routine monthly reporting of aggregated data specifying geographical area
and month of onset from central level to WHO regional offices.
Outbreak prevention phase: When low incidence is achieved with periodic outbreaks due to
accumulation of susceptibles, routine monthly reporting of aggregated data of clinical cases
from peripheral to intermediate and central level. All suspected outbreaks should be
investigated immediately and case-based data collected. Suspected epidemics should be
confirmed by conducting serology on the first few cases only.
International: routine monthly reporting of aggregated data of clinical cases specifying
geographical area, month of onset, age group and immunization status
Elimination phase: Case-based surveillance should be conducted and every case reported and
investigated immeciately from peripheral level to intermediate level, and also included in the
weekly reporting system. Laboratory specimens should be collected on every case.

product, should be reported to the Programme of Food Safety and Food Aid, WHO
(Global databank on foodborne diseases (notified cases); global databank on
foodborne disease outbreaks (underdevelopment), and regional programmes for
surveillance of foodborne diseases).

Surveillance Definitions
Active case-finding The dynamic identification of the occurrence of a disease or health event under
surveillance, (e.g. house visits by community workers to identify cases of tuberculosis).
Active surveillance FRoutine surveillance where reports are '
' ' dynamically
'
sought
from participants in
the surveillance systemi on a regular basis (e.g. telephoning each participant monthly to ask about
t new
cases).
Aggregate surveillance The surveillance of a disease or health event by collecting summary data on
groups of cases (e.g. in many general practice surveillance schemes clinicians are asked to report the
number of cases of a specified diseases seen over a period of time)
Attack rate i he proportion of those exposed to an infectious agent who become (clinically) ill.

Case A person who meets the case definition.
Case definition

A set of diagnostic criteria that must be fulfilled to be regarded as a case of a

bS“a " “ Cn""a'



ase classification Gradations in the likelihood of being a case (e.g. suspected/probable/confirmed)
This is particularly useful where early reporting of cases is important (e.g. Ebola haemorrhagic fever)
and where there are difficulties in making definite diagnoses (e.g. specialised laboratory tests
required).
1

Case-based surveillance The surveillance of a disease by collecting specific data
on each case (e.g.
collecting details on each case of Acute Flaccid Paralysis in polio surveillance)
Case fatality rate The proportion of people who die
as a proportion of all cases. This will vary
depending on the case definition used.

Cluster The occurrence of an unusual number of cases in person, place or time.
Community surveillance Surveillance where the starting point is a health event occurring in the
community and reported by a community worker or actively sought by investigators. This may be
particularly useful dunng an outbreak ancTwhere syndromic case definitions can be used, (the active •
i entification of community cases of Ebola virus infection in Kikwit was an example of this type of
surveillance)
7
Comprehensive surveillance The surveillance of a specified disease or health event in the whole
population at nsk format event, (e.g. AFP surveillance)
Contact An individual who has had contact with a case in a way that is considered to have cause
significant exposure and therefore risk of infection.

Due dates The dates by which reports from a specified penod should be received by the each level of
a surveillance system, (used to calculate timeliness)

Endemic The constant presence of a disease within a given geographic area or population group.

Enhanced surveillance
The collection of additional data on czccc
cases reported under routine
surveillance. The routine surveillance is a starting point for more specific data
-------collection
—on a given
health event. This information may be sought from the reporter, the case, the laboratory or from
anothe.' surveillance data set.
Epidemic ’The occurrence of cases of an illness clearly in excess of
expectancy. This is often
referred to as3 an outbreak (more neutral).

Feedback The regular process of sending analyses
and surveillance reports on the surveillance data
back through all levels of the surveillance system so i
at ail participants can be informed of trends and
performance.
Health event Any event relating to the health of
an individual (e.g. the occurrence of a specific
disease or syndrome, the administration of a vaccine
or an admission to hospital)

Hospital surveillance Surveillance
f
where the staring point for a report is the admission of a patient
to hospital with a particular disease or syndrome.

Incidence The number of persons who fall ill with

a certain disease during a defined time period

Intensified surveillance The upgrading from a passive to an active surveillance system for a
specified reason and penod (usually because of an outbreak). It must be
noted that the system
becomes more sensitive and secular trends may need to be interpreted carefully.
