Abstract:
The total number of 27,103 cases of bacterial foodborne infections and intoxications were registered in 1999. The incidence was 70.1/100,000. 6,269 cases were registered in 336 outbreaks of collective illnesses (4 people and more). S. Enteritidis was found in 97.1% of cases in outbreaks caused by Salmonella spp. The main vehicle of foodborne infections and intoxications in outbreaks was food prepared from eggs (52.5% cases in outbreaks). Private homes prevailed (58.3% of outbreaks) among the places of the ready made food production. Five epidemics with more than 100 cases each were registered in 1999.
