为了确定美国沙门氏菌感染的负担，食源性疾病主动监测网络（FoodNet）的研究人员在1996-1999年期间在FoodNet实验室对培养确认的沙门氏菌感染进行了基于人群的主动监测。此外，还对所有临床微生物学FoodNet实验室进行了调查，以确定其分离沙门氏菌的做法。还对粮食网各站点的居民进行了电话访谈，以确定有腹泻病的人寻求医疗的比例和提供粪便样本进行细菌培养的比例。使用我们的模型，我们估计有140万非伤寒沙门氏菌感染在美国，导致168,000医生办公室访问，每年在1996年至1999年期间。包括培养证实的感染和未被培养证实的感染，我们估计沙门氏菌感染每年导致15，000人住院治疗和400人死亡。这些估计数表明沙门氏菌病对公共卫生造成了重大的持续负担。
To determine the burden of Salmonella infections in the United States, Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) investigators conducted population-based active surveillance for culture-confirmed Salmonella infections during 1996-1999 at FoodNet laboratories. In addition, all clinical microbiology FoodNet laboratories were surveyed to determine their practices for isolating Salmonella. Telephone interviews were also conducted among residents of the FoodNet sites to determine the proportion of persons with diarrheal illness who sought medical care and the proportion who submitted stool specimens for bacterial culture. Using our model, we estimated that there were 1.4 million nontyphoidal Salmonella infections in the United States, resulting in 168,000 physician office visits per year during 1996-1999. Including both culture-confirmed infections and those not confirmed by culture, we estimated that Salmonella infections resulted in 15,000 hospitalizations and 400 deaths annually. These estimates indicate that salmonellosis presents a major ongoing burden to public health.
