登革热是一种潜在的致命疾病,正在世界各地传播。据估计,热带和亚热带地区有25亿人处于危险之中。及早发现疫情对预防和控制登革热病毒和其他病毒至关重要。病例报告通常需要几周或几个月的时间。因此,研究人员探索了实时信息的电子来源(如互联网新闻媒体、健康专家邮件列表、社交媒体网站和在线搜索引擎查询)是否可能更快,而且确实是这样。尽管应谨慎解读来自非官方来源的信息,但当与传统病例报告结合使用时,实时电子监测可以帮助公共卫生当局及时分配资源,以避免全面流行。拉丁美洲目前的登革热疫情是对健康的重大威胁。然而,对受影响地区的监测缺乏及时性和准确性。我们调查了实时电子来源,以监测登革热向新地区的传播。这种方法可以及时估计登革热分布的变化,登革热是预防和控制工作的关键组成部分。
Dengue, a potentially fatal disease, is spreading around the world. An estimated 2.5 billion people in tropical and subtropical regions are at risk. Early detection of outbreaks is crucial to prevention and control of dengue virus and other viruses. Case reporting may often take weeks or months. Therefore, researchers explored whether electronic sources of real-time information (such as Internet news outlets, health expert mailing lists, social media sites, and queries to online search engines) might be faster, and they were. Although information from unofficial sources should be interpreted with caution, when used in conjunction with traditional case reporting, real-time electronic surveillance can help public health authorities allocate resources in time to avert full-blown epidemics. The current dengue epidemic in Latin America represents a major threat to health. However, surveillance of affected regions lacks timeliness and precision. We investigated real-time electronic sources for monitoring spread of dengue into new regions. This approach could provide timely estimates of changes in distribution of dengue, a critical component of prevention and control efforts.
