  abstract = {{I}nfectious diseases still represent a major challenge for humanity. {I}n this context, their surveillance is critical. {F}rom 2010 to 2016, two {P}oint-{O}f-{C}are ({POC}) laboratories have been successfully implemented in the rural {S}aloum region of {S}enegal. {I}n parallel, a homemade syndromic surveillance system called {EPIMIC} was implemented to monitor infectious diseases using data produced by the {POC} laboratory of the {T}imone hospital in {M}arseille, {F}rance. {T}he aim of this study is to describe the steps necessary for implementing {EPIMIC} using data routinely produced by two {POC} laboratories ({POC}-{L}) established in rural {S}enegal villages. {A}fter improving {EPIMIC}, we started to monitor the 15 pathogens routinely diagnosed in the two {POC}-{L} using the same methodology we used in {F}rance. {I}n 5 years, 2,577 deduplicated patients-samples couples from 775 different patients have been tested in the {D}ielmo and {N}diop {POC}-{L}. 739 deduplicated patients-samples couples were found to be positive to at least one of the tested pathogens. {T}he retrospective analysis of the {D}ielmo and {N}diop {POC} data with {EPIMIC} allowed to generate 443 alarms. {S}ince {J}anuary 2016, 316 deduplicated patients-samples couples collected from 298 different patients were processed in the {N}iakhar {POC} laboratory. 56 deduplicated patients-samples couples were found to be positive to at least one of the tested pathogens. {T}he retrospective analysis of the data of the {N}iakhar {POC} laboratory with {EPIMIC} allowed to generate 14 alarms. {A}lthough some improvements are still needed, {EPIMIC} has been successfully spread using data routinely produced by two rural {POC}-{L} in {S}enegal, {W}est {A}frica.},
