title: [Reliability and completeness of an integrated epidemiologic system of acute viral hepatitis].
abstract: An integrated epidemiological system for the surveillance of acute viral hepatitis (Seiva) has been performed in Italy. Aim of the present work is to evaluate diagnostic completeness and reliability of the surveillance system in the Piedmont Region. Results show that 15% of Acute Viral Hepatitis are not reported by the system and that the potential diagnostic errors are 7.3% of the cases.
