Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

There is a renewed interest in syndromic surveillance methods. Several European countries have already developed broad syndromic surveillance under different themes (infectious diseases, environmental health, veterinary), with different sources of data (emergency departments, mortality, telephone help lines) and use different methods (retrospective or prospective studies).

  • A review of European syndromic surveillance could be developed including more Member States and defining a common approach taking into account existing projects.
