Excerpt

Over the last decade, several outbreaks have exposed major limitations in healthcare systems around the globe [1]. These outbreaks are characterized by the sudden emergence of an infectious and virulent respiratory pathogen that has the potential to spread rapidly around the world. Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003, influenza A (H1N1) in 2009, and more recently the emergence of avian influenza A (H7N9) in China and novel coronavirus (e.g., Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) have been the major threats to healthcare on a global scale [2]. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommended an increase in the surveillance of respiratory outbreaks and coined the severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) concept for surveillance purposes as well as to help the development of adequate sentinel programs [3]. The SARI definition encompassed a wide array of features including (1) recent onset of respiratory illness (within 10 days) (2) clinical signs and symptoms (fever, cough, and dyspnea), and (3) need for overnight hospitalization. …
