This report demonstrates the role of epidemiologic surveillance and investigation in the control of infectious diseases in a long-term refugee camp. The applications of simple epidemiologic methods in a refugee camp on the Thai-Cambodian border are described for a one-year period. The development of a Health Information Office facilitated the collection of demographic and vital statistics data, administration of a disease surveillance system, regular monitoring of hospital and outpatient discharge diagnoses, and investigation of disease outbreaks. This office also organized community health education campaigns and disease control efforts. Examples of specific disease investigations are provided to demonstrate the utility of epidemiologic surveillance in the control of infectious disease. We conclude that simple epidemiologic methods play an important role in health planning in long-term refugee camps.
本报告展示了流行病学监测与调查在长期难民营传染病控制中的作用。描述了在泰国-柬埔寨边境的一个难民营中，为期一年的简单流行病学方法的应用情况。健康信息办公室的设立促进了人口统计和生命统计数据的收集、疾病监测系统的管理、对医院和门诊出院诊断的定期监测以及疾病暴发调查。该办公室还组织了社区健康教育活动和疾病控制工作。提供了具体疾病调查的实例，以证明流行病学监测在传染病控制中的作用。我们得出结论，简单的流行病学方法在长期难民营的卫生规划中发挥着重要作用。
