In March, 2003, the epidemic of the century, SARS, swept across the world, devastating Taiwan’s society and economy. In December of the same year, after avian flu epidemics occurred in Korea, Japan, and Vietnam, all Asian countries have become avian flu epidemic countries except Taiwan. Dead cases due to H5N1 were then reported in Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia. The general public was terrified. The Symptom Surveillance System was then established to prevent invasion of viruses, and early detect communicable diseases so that epidemic preventive measures could be adopted quickly. In 2006, incorporation with the active surveillance system improved the effectiveness of epidemic prevention against imported diseases, and the convenience and accessibility of the Symptom Surveillance System to achieve the goal of early detection and prevention of diseases. The Symptom Surveillance System currently targets H5N1 influenza patients under investigation, influenza-like illness, fever of unknown causes, diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infection, persistent coughing for more than three weeks and enterovirus. |
