Acute Respiratory Disease Weekly Surveillance Summary

Week Ending 17 September 2022

DEFINITIONS:
ARD Rate=(ARD cases/Trainees) *100
Strep Rate=(Strep Cultures (+)/Cultures) *100
Strep-ARD Surveillance Index (SASI)=(ARD Rate*Strep Rate)
Strep Testing Compliance (STC) =% of ARD cases tested for Strep at each site (those sites highlighted red are at less than 60% compliance)
NOTE: The ARD and strep rates are for febrile cases only. An ARD case is defined as a trainee with an oral temperature of at least 100.5°F, at least one symptom of acute respiratory inflammation, and a limited duty profile signed by the examining medical provider which limits or restricts duty for at least 8 hours.

Benning	NA	NA	NA
Jackson	NA	NA	NA
Leonard Wood	0.09 (↑)	0.00 (↔)	20%
Sill	0.09 (NA)	0.00 (NA)	0%

↑=Increase ↓=Decrease ↔=No Change
NA=Not Available —- Testing Not Necessary

Threshold: ARD Rate exceeding 1.5% or SASI exceeding 25*
*Exceedance of either threshold for 2 consecutive weeks is defined as a potential outbreak and prompts investigation at the installation level.
