A Study of 279 General Outbreaks of Gastrointestinal Infection in the North-East Region of England

Abstract: All outbreaks of infectious intestinal disease reported to the authorities were entered on a computer database with outbreak control teams being established to investigate larger or more significant incidents. The outbreak database and, when set up, the notes of outbreak team meetings were examined for the 279 outbreaks reported in a three-year period (2003)(2004)(2005). Faeces specimens submitted as part of an outbreak were examined for microbial pathogens and the results cross-matched to the outbreak number.… Show more

“…However, enteric parasites-mainly protozoa-are isolated from 1% to 65% of patients with diarrhea in various settings. The relative prevalences of enteric protozoa reported in several developed countries in outbreak and nonoutbreak settings among humans are reported in Table 1 (1, 11,12,24,60,85,90,96,128,144,184,192,193,204,215,225,247,248,255,264,265,301,335,355,370,395,416,417,425,442,444,452,467). Giardia intestinalis (0.2% to 29.2% of cases), Cryptosporidium spp.…”

“…Diarrhea from gastrointestinal infections remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide [1]. These diarrhea diseases not only occur in developing countries with low levels of hygiene and sanitation, but are also recognized in developed countries [2]. Food and waterborne pathogens are the main factors for the outbreak of these diseases, the transmission of these pathogens endangering public health [3].…”

“…However, the cases of salmonella increased all over the world and new agents such as Escherichia coli 0157:H7 were reported in many countries. 13,14 Cases of Vibrio vulnificus septicaemias have been increasingly reported during the last few years in hospitals in these regions, especially in the Gulf of Mexico states. The patients are more likely to die if the treatment is not given at the appropriate time.…”
