腹泻病是西太平洋区域发病和死亡的主要原因之一。然而，在该区域的许多国家，包括巴布亚新几内亚，关于传染性腹泻主要原因的数据有限。2013-2014年，我们在巴布亚新几内亚的四个省开展了急性腹泻病监测。每个省都有一个农村卫生所参与了监测活动。样本被送到中心实验室，并对通常与腹泻有关的细菌和病毒性胃肠道病原体进行了批量分析。在这四个地点，最常检测到的病原体是志贺氏菌、弯曲杆菌和轮状病毒。在本文中，我们报告了监测活动的结果和我们面临的挑战。所吸取的教训可能适用于该区域具有类似社会经济地位的其他地区。
Diarrhoeal diseases are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the Western Pacific Region. However, data on the major causes of infectious diarrhoea are limited in many countries within the Region, including Papua New Guinea. In 2013-2014, we conducted surveillance for acute diarrhoeal illness in four provinces in Papua New Guinea. One rural health clinic from each province participated in the surveillance activity. Samples were sent to central laboratories and batch analysed for bacterial and viral gastrointestinal pathogens that are commonly associated with diarrhoea. Across the four sites, the most commonly detected pathogens were Shigella spp., Campylobacter spp. and rotavirus. In this paper, we report the results of the surveillance activity and the challenges that we faced. The lessons learnt may be applicable to other parts of the Region with a similar socioeconomic status.
