Influenza-like Illness (ILI) & Severe Acute

Respiratory Illness (SARI)

If the patient comes with fever and respiratory symptoms, we will see if they have

influenza like illness (ILI). If they fulfilled this definition: a history of high fever with
temperature of 38 degrees or higher AND one or more of the following symptoms:

cough, shortness of breath, body ache or sore throat.

If the disease is severe enough to require hospital admission and it occurs within
the past 10 days, then the term SARI or severe acute respiratory illnesses is used.
