Due to the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games some modifications were introduced in the epidemiologic surveillance system for infectious diseases in place in the city, in order to expand its coverage and shorten its timeliness in detecting outbreaks and investigating cases. These modifications were introduced for a group conditions (hepatitis, meningococcal disease, legionnaire's disease and food outbreaks), selected on the basis of incidence, time of the year, previous experience in other settings, and likelihood of outbreak occurrence. In the June-August 1992 period (Olympic period), no increases in the incidence of selected conditions were observed when compared to the same period in 1986 to 1991. Major changes were observed in the source of food outbreak reporting, with a large increase in outbreaks reported by emergency room departments. There was an increase in the number of domestic foodborne outbreaks and a reduction in those related with restaurants. Timeliness in the detection of cases was shortened. The use of similar modifications can be useful for epidemiologic surveillance systems in other comparable settings or occasions.
由于1992年巴塞罗那奥运会，该市当时的传染病流行病学监测系统进行了一些改进，以扩大其覆盖范围，并缩短发现疫情和调查病例的时间。这些改进针对一组疾病（肝炎、脑膜炎球菌病、军团病和食源性疾病暴发）进行，这些疾病是根据发病率、一年中的时间、其他地区的既往经验以及暴发发生的可能性选定的。在1992年6月至8月期间（奥运会期间），与1986年至1991年的同期相比，选定疾病的发病率没有增加。食源性疾病暴发报告来源出现了重大变化，急诊部门报告的暴发大幅增加。家庭食源性疾病暴发数量增加，与餐馆相关的暴发数量减少。病例发现的及时性缩短。在其他类似环境或场合，采用类似的改进措施可能对流行病学监测系统有用。
