iSIKHNAS uses broad syndromes, this is because the diseases of interest are very important and we don't want to miss any cases. Village reporters (pelsa) and para-vets should report every suspected priority syndrome case. The important thing is that we all remain alert to the threat of these diseases. Most priority reports will probably end in a diagnosis which is not the priority disease. It is still very important that you report a priority syndrome (using a P SMS reporting message) and let the vet carry out a more thorough investigation.
