新出现的传染病和信息技术的发展为疾病监测和应对带来了新的需求和可能性。必须迅速评估越来越多的疫情报告，以便启动控制工作，查明未经证实的报告，保护各国免受不必要的经济损失。世界卫生组织建立了一个及时核实疫情的程序，以便将大量数据转化为准确信息，供采取适当行动。我们描述了疫情核查和信息传播的背景和过程。
Emerging infectious diseases and the growth of information technology have produced new demands and possibilities for disease surveillance and response. Increasing numbers of outbreak reports must be assessed rapidly so that control efforts can be initiated and unsubstantiated reports can be identified to protect countries from unnecessary economic damage. The World Health Organization has set up a process for timely outbreak verification to convert large amounts of data into accurate information for suitable action. We describe the context and processes of outbreak verification and information dissemination.
