    The document provides an overview of polio AFP surveillance, including the rationale to detect true AFP cases and prevent importation and spread of polio. It recommends collecting stool specimens within 14 days of paralysis onset when virus shedding is most likely. Quality indicators include an AFP rate of at least 2 per 100,000 under-15s and over 80% adequacy, NPEV isolation, and timeliness across reporting, investigation, follow-up and classification steps. Key indicators for a functional ESU are sending at least 80% of weekly MDB, analyzing data weekly, and investigating cases.

    PRELIMS

    AFP Surveillance 101

    1. What is the 2. Give 2 risk rationale behind factors for polio AFP surveillance? importation and spread.

    3. What is the best time to collect stool specimen for AFPcases?

    4. Give 2 indicators for a quality AFP surveillance.

    5. Give the 3 indicators for an ESU to be fully functional.

    1. What is the 2. Give 2 risk rationale behind factors for polio AFP surveillance? importation and spread.
    To ensure that the surveillance system is sensitive enough to detect true AFP cases and subsequently able to detect polio cases Low OPV coverage Poor AFP surveillance

    3. What is the best time to collect stool specimen for AFP cases? And why?
    Within 14 days from onset of paralysis, this is the best time for virus shedding.

    4. Give at least 2 indicators for a quality AFP surveillance.

    PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
    AFP Rate of at least 2 per 100,000 pop. of <15 yrs > 80% Adequacy of stool specimens > 10% NPEV isolation rate at all levels > 80% of cases were reported within 14 days after the onset of paralysis > 80% of cases were investigated within 24-48 hours after report > 80% of cases were followed up 60 days after the onset of paralysis > 80% of cases were classified within 90 days after onset of paralysis (through the AFP Expert Panel meetings) > 80% of stool specimens receive at the National Reference Laboratory (RITM) within 3 days after collection

    5. Give the 3 indicators for an ESU to be fully functional.

    Able to send 80* weekly MDB from the total MDB Able to analyze data weekly Able to investigate
