Is passive surveillance always insensitive? An evaluation of shigellosis surveillance in Oklahoma.

J R Harkess1, B A Gildon, P W Archer, G R Istre.   

Abstract

The authors studied the reporting of shigellosis in Oklahoma to evaluate the sensitivity of the state-based passive surveillance system for shigellosis. They found that passive surveillance for shigellosis can be more sensitive than has been previously observed. Laboratory-based reporting was found to be far superior to reporting by physicians.
