    Author: Przybylska A.
    Journal: Przegl Epidemiol; 2004; 58(1):85-101. PubMed ID: 15218647.
    Abstract:
    A total of 26,734 bacterial foodborne infections and intoxications were registered in 2002 (incidence 69.9/100,000 population). S. Enteritidis was found in 94.8% of collective outbreaks (in Poland 4 sick people and more) and 90.4% cases in outbreaks caused by Salmonella of animal's source. The main vehicle of foodborne and waterborne outbreaks in 2002 was food prepared from various raw materials (3 and more) of animal's source (35.6% cases in outbreaks) and the next--from eggs (20.9% cases in outbreaks). Private homes prevailed (47.1% outbreaks, 66.2% outbreaks caused by Salmonella) among the places of the ready made food production. Ten epidemics with 100 and more cases each, were registered. Six deaths were noted in outbreaks in 2002 (2--in the result of salmonellosis of the animal's source, 1--in the result of staphylococcal infection and 3--after chemical poisoning).
