BackgroundVibriospp. naturally occur in warm water with moderate salinity. Infections with non-choleraVibrio(vibriosis) cause an estimated 80,000 illnesses and 100 fatalities each year in the United States. Climate associated changes to environmental parameters in aquatic ecosystems are largely promotingVibriogrowth, and increased incidence of vibriosis is being reported globally. However, vibriosis trends in the northeastern U.S. (e.g., Maryland) have not been evaluated since 2008.MethodsVibriosis case data for Maryland (2006–2019; n = 611) were obtained from the COVIS database. Incidence rates were calculated using U.S. Census Bureau population estimates for Maryland. A logistic regression model, including region, age group, race, gender, occupation, and exposure type, was used to estimate the likelihood of hospitalization.ResultsComparing the 2006–2012 and 2013–2019 periods, there was a 39% (p= 0.01) increase in the average annual incidence rate (per 100,000 population) of vibriosis, withV. vulnificusinfections seeing the greatest percentage increase (53%,p= 0.01), followed byV. parahaemolyticus(47%,p= 0.05). The number of hospitalizations increased by 58% (p= 0.01). Since 2010, there were more reported vibriosis cases with a hospital duration ≥10 days. Patients from the upper eastern shore region and those over the age of 65 were more likely (OR = 6.8 and 12.2) to be hospitalized compared to other patients.ConclusionsLong-term increases inVibrioinfections, notablyV. vulnificuswound infections, are occurring in Maryland. This trend, along with increased rates in hospitalizations and average hospital durations, underscore the need to improve public awareness, water monitoring, post-harvest seafood interventions, and environmental forecasting ability.
