Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Infektionen spielen für das Krankheitsempfinden, für gesundheitsökonomische Überlegungen sowie Public Health in Deutschland weiterhin eine wichtige Rolle. Sie wurden in den letzten Jahren außerdem mit der Entstehung von nichtübertragbaren Erkrankungen in Zusammenhang gebracht. Die NAKO Gesundheitsstudie kann Erkenntnisse auf diesem Gebiet vertiefen und damit zielgenaueren präventiven Ansätzen den Weg bereiten. Ziel Die infektionsbezogenen Erhebungsinstrumente sollen beschrieben und in Bezug zu Erhebungsarten anderer deutscher Studien gesetzt werden. Zudem werden erste Daten zur Häufigkeit von Infektionskrankheiten berichtet. Methoden Fragen zu Infektionskrankheiten wurden in der NAKO-Basiserhebung sowohl im Interview als auch im Selbstausfüllerfragebogen (Touchscreen) gestellt. Es wurden die Daten der ersten 101.787 Teilnehmenden ausgewertet. Ergebnisse Das Auftreten von Herpes Zoster (HZ), Post-Zoster-Neuralgie (bei Angabe von HZ), Hepatitis B/C, HIV/Aids und Tuberkulose im Sinne einer ärztlichen Diagnose bzw. von Sepsis als Grund für eine stationäre Behandlung wurde von 0,2 % (HIV/Aids) bis 8,6 % (HZ) der Befragten im Interview angegeben. Im Touchscreenmodul wurde das mindestens einmalige Auftreten einer Infektion der oberen Atemwege (IOA), der unteren Atemwege, des Magen-Darm-Traktes, der Harnblase oder von Fieber in den letzten 12 Monaten von 12 % (Zystitis) bis 81 % (IOA) berichtet. Ausblick Weitere Ergebnisse anhand von Daten aus den hier vorgestellten Fragebögen sind im Querschnittsdesign – beispielsweise zu Determinanten der Anfälligkeit für selbst berichtete Infektionen – ab 2021 zu erwarten. Die Bearbeitung darüber hinausgehender Forschungsfragen der Infektionsepidemiologie wird insbesondere nach Analysen von NAKO-Bioproben möglich sein.

“…Acute gastroenteritis (AG), manifesting with signs and symptoms of diarrhoea, vomiting, abdominal pain or cramps, fever, dehydration, nausea and/or loss of appetite, is usually self-limiting, but leads to a considerable burden of disease, health system use and socio-economic impact. Studies in several European countries estimated the incidence of AG at 0.3–1.5 episodes per person and year [ 1 – 14 ]. Furthermore, it was found that a considerable 11% of patients with infectious enteritis develop post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome [ 15 , 16 ].…”

“…Incidence of AG for Switzerland is assumed to be comparable, but data is limited to notifiable pathogens reported to the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) based on the Epidemics Act. Several studies from other European countries have shown that (i) only 6.4–37.8% of all AG episodes lead to consultation of a physician [ 1 – 9 , 11 , 12 , 14 ], and (ii) 0.2–1.8% of episodes are reported to national surveillance systems [ 1 , 11 , 14 ]. These proportions are highly variable between countries and pathogens due to different help seeking behaviour, case management and surveillance systems [ 17 ].…”

ObjectivesAcute gastroenteritis (AG) is a usually self-limiting, but common disease worldwide. In Europe, incidence estimates range from 0.3–1.5 AG episodes/person-year. For Switzerland, available information on AG is restricted to notifiable foodborne diseases and findings from research studies starting at primary care level. The aims of this 1-year, population-based prospective cohort study are to assess the incidence, burden of disease, aetiology and socio-economic impact of AG in the Swiss general population. Additionally, the prevalence of bacterial gastrointestinal pathogens and bacteria harbouring antimicrobial resistances in the asymptomatic population shall be assessed.ResultsWeekly follow-up of the cohort consisting of 3000 participants will provide incidence estimates of AG. Furthermore, information collected will be used to assess risk factors for experiencing an episode of AG, to explore determinants for help seeking, and to characterise the socio-economic impact of AG including absence from work and inability to perform daily activities. Aetiology of AG is determined by investigating stool samples from symptomatic participants. Finally, stool samples from participants collected during an asymptomatic period will be used to assess the prevalence of enterohaemorrhagic E. coli, Campylobacter spp., Salmonella spp. and Shigella spp. as well as of resistance to different antibiotics (extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-, fluoroquinolone- and carbapenemase-resistance).Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s13104-018-3916-2) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

IntroductionEven brief episodes of fecal contamination of drinking water can lead directly to illness in the consumers. In water-borne outbreaks, the connection between poor microbial water quality and disease can be quickly identified. The impact of non-compliant drinking water samples due to E. coli taken for regular monitoring on the incidence of notified acute gastrointestinal infections has not yet been studied.MethodsThe objective of this study was to analyse the geographical distribution of notified acute gastrointestinal infections (AGI) in Slovenia in 2010, with hotspot identification. The second aim of the study was to correlate the fecal contamination of water supply system on the settlement level with the distribution of notified AGI cases. Spatial analysis using geo-information technology and other methods were used.ResultsHot spots with the highest proportion of notified AGI cases were mainly identified in areas with small supply zones. The risk for getting AGI was drinking water contaminated with E. coli from supply zones with 50–1000 users: RR was 1.25 and significantly greater than one (p-value less than 0.001).ConclusionThis study showed the correlation between the frequency of notified AGI cases and non-compliant results in drinking water monitoring.
