Abstract:
This is the first annual epidemiological report on campylobacteriosis in Poland. The total number of 157 campylabacteriosis cases were reported in 2006 in Poland. The incidence rate was 0.41 per 100 000 population. No death was reported. About 56% of patients were hospitalized. Despite the fact that since 2003, the reporting of campylobacteriosis has been mandatory in Poland, data about Campylobacter infections are restricted to some regions of the country. This is mostly due to the limited number of laboratories performing the diagnosis of Campylobacter. The species of Campylobacter was determined in 129 cases (82%): 105 cases (67%) were caused by C. jejuni infection and 24 by C. coli. In 2006 three outbreaks were reported in Poland, all were considered family outbreaks. Two of these were caused by C. jejuni and one by C. coli.
