We estimated the total number of human alveolar echinococcosis cases in Germany from 2003 through 2005 using the multiple source capture-recapture method. We found a 3-fold higher incidence of the disease than that shown by national surveillance data. We propose a revision of the reporting system to increase case ascertainment.
我们采用多源捕获-再捕获方法估算了2003年至2005年德国人类肺泡型棘球蚴病的病例总数。我们发现该病的发病率比国家监测数据显示的高出两倍。我们建议修订报告系统以提高病例确诊率。
