Epidemiological analysis of the incidence of yersiniosis by the monthly notified isolations of Yersinia enterocolitica 03 in the microbiological laboratories of the regional and district hygiene centres in Czechoslovakia.
The incidence of bacteriologically confirmed Yersinia enterocolitica 03 infections was recorded in absolute and relative numbers as well as in maps. There were more cases in children, especially of the youngest age group, than in adults, an in males than in females. Some differences in seasonal and regional incidence were found: a considerable rise during the winter months in Slovakia, whereas in Bohemia relatively high incidence was observed over several seasons of the year.
