บทคัดย่อ: Background: Acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) is an infection of the central nervous system with high case-fatality rates. Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is the most common vaccine preventable cause of AES in Asia and part of the Western Pacific. In 2003, the JE vaccine was introduced into Thailand's National Immunization Program and expanded to all provinces. This study reviews data from the national surveillance system on the incidence of AES, including Japanese encephalitis in Thailand to guide surveillance, control, and prevention strategies. Materials and Methods: We collected data on all patients diagnosed with AES and reported to the Bureau of Epidemiology, Ministry of Public Health, Thailand, from 2003 to 2019. Results: A total of 9566 AES patients and 266 death cases were reported during these 17 years. Six hundred and forty-two (6.7%) patients were JE with 16 deaths. The incidence of AES increased from 0.47-0.51-1.36 cases per 100,000 population with a preponderance of cases in adults. CFR reduced from 6.25% - 6.94% in 2003-2005 to 0.78% in 2019. AES cases occurred all year round in all the age groups with a male predilection JE vaccination coverage had reached 83% by 2019. The patients were mainly from the north-eastern region of Thailand. Conclusion: Integrated surveillance regular monitoring, strengthening, and making immunization sustainable is required to improve and maintain progress toward JE control and prevention.
