Pages: 144; 
Description: The documents contains the following: Introduction and scope of guidance; Case definitions; Selection and location of sentinel sites; Selection of sentinel SARI and ILI/ARI cases for respiratory specimen collection; Epidemiologic data collection; Data analysis and reports; Laboratory specimen processing; Roles and responsibilities in sentinel surveillance; Monitoring, review and evaluation of the surveillance system, annexes and references.
Abstract: The surveillance system components described in this guidance are intended to provide a platform for the heath care service‐based sentinel surveillance of primary care/outpatient and hospitalized disease caused by influenza and possibly other respiratory pathogens. Case definitions of influenza‐like illness (ILI) and acute respiratory infection (ARI) are suggested for the surveillance of primary care/outpatient illness related to influenza and other respiratory pathogens. A case definition for severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) is provided as a standard to enumerate influenza infections leading to hospitalization. This guidance is supported by examples of good practice, which are included throughout the document.
