Key result
Hospital-based surveillance in Bali identified an annualized Japanese encephalitis incidence rate of 7.1 per 100,000 children less than 10 years of age, demonstrating that the virus is hyperendemic in the region.
Observational (n=239)
Yes
Prospective surveillance in Bali demonstrates that Japanese encephalitis is endemic with incidence and case-fatality rates comparable to other endemic Asian countries, supporting the need for vaccination.

Supports JE vaccination consideration in Balinese children; extends Asian endemicity surveillance data.
Kari et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Japanese encephalitis (n=239). Hospital-based surveillance was evaluated on Annualized JE incidence per 100,000 children less than 10 years of age (95% CI 3.6-10.5). Hospital-based surveillance in Bali identified an annualized Japanese encephalitis incidence rate of 7.1 per 100,000 children less than 10 years of age, demonstrating that the virus is hyperendemic in the region.
