title: [Epidemiologic study of morbidity of food poisoning and infections in the Valencia community (1982-1986)].
abstract: A descriptive epidemiographic study was conducted on the sickness rate from food-poisoning in the Valencian Autonomous Region between 1982 and 1986. The results indicate that there was an increase in the number of food poisoning cases reported, the majority occurring during the summer months. The districts presenting most cases are the coastal districts, although cases are numerous too in a number of inland districts. A generally upward trend was detected, both in the Region as a whole and in the individual districts, which makes it most advisable to keep a close watch on public health, given the importance of the zone to tourism.
