| What characterizes highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in birds? | sudden, severe illness and rapid death with high mortality that can reach upto 100 percent | Check-List for Central Rapid Response Team for Investigation of Suspected Outbreak of Avian Influenza Introduction Avian influenza or bird flu is a contagious disease caused by viruses that normally infect only birds and less commonly pigs (or other animals). The disease in birds has two forms; the first causes mild illness (LPAI-Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza) and the second, known as highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is of great concern, which is characterized by sudden, severe illness and rapid death with high mortality that can reach upto 100 percent. The case definition of Avian Influenza is placed at Annexure- 15 Since mid-December 2003, human infections with Influenza Type A (H5N1) have attracted attention of public health professionals. Keeping in view the above problems, efforts should be made to investigate the suspected outbreaks of Avian Influenza expeditiously. | 481 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/resource/1776236156_NCDC-Document-on-outbreak-investigartion.pdf | The disease in birds has two forms; the first causes mild illness (LPAI-Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza) and the second, known as highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is of great concern, which is characterized by sudden, severe illness and rapid death with high mortality that can reach upto 100 percent. | 15 | page=15,block=2 | 0.700 | valid |

| What actions are required during public health emergencies caused by disease outbreaks? | urgent actions to investigate and respond to the situation. | Disease outbreaks are public health emergencies that require urgent actions to investigate and respond to the situation. The number of such events, particularly from outbreaks of infectious diseases, has been increasing in recent years. As per the State Governments request to the Central Government, multidisciplinary Central Rapid Response Teams (RRTs) are deputed for technical support for disease outbreak investigations in the field. In this context, it is felt to have a comprehensive Check-List for steps of investigation, data analysis, report writing, communication etc. that can be referred to, by an investigating team. It is envisaged that this document will help in step-by-step investigation of disease outbreaks by the Central RRTs, to institute appropriate preventive and control measures. | 61 | relationship | 0.970 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/resource/1776236156_NCDC-Document-on-outbreak-investigartion.pdf | Disease outbreaks are public health emergencies that require urgent actions to investigate and respond to the situation.

| What has made preparedness for outbreak investigation even more necessary? | The threat of pandemic influenza | Disease outbreaks are public health emergencies which result in increased morbidity and mortality and put acute demands on the health system. To minimize their impact, it is essential that outbreaks are investigated properly so that appropriate and adequate control measures can be initiated in a timely manner. The threat of pandemic influenza has made preparedness for outbreak investigation even more necessary. It was felt that uniform guidelines /check list will be of great help in facilitating outbreak investigation. In this context, a check list has been developed which gives step-by-step actions required to be taken for undertaking outbreak investigation. The quality of outbreak investigations and response will get a boost with its use, which should contribute towards more effective outbreak control capabilities. | 312 | relationship | 0.970 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/resource/1776236156_NCDC-Document-on-outbreak-investigartion.pdf | To minimize their impact, it is essential that outbreaks are investigated properly so that appropriate and adequate control measures can be initiated in a timely manner.
