    Document: influenza-related complications such as pneumonia, encephalopathy, and myocardial infarction. Interestingly, acute cardiac events were more commonly identified in non-ILI patients (6 cases) than in ILI patients (2 cases). I believe different kinds of case definitions should be used depending on the purpose of the surveillance or research. This can reduce the diagnostic gap between surveillance systems and real clinical practice. A more detailed and targeted case definition, such as modified SARI used in the aforementioned study, will provide a more comprehensive understanding of influenza epidemiology. A limitation of the modified SARI, in my opinion, would be the internal heterogeneity of the case definition. While ILI included both influenza and non-influenza cases, non-ILI included laboratory-confirmed influenza cases only.
