Salmonellosis in Hawaii: 1987 to 1990.
After an overview of salmonellosis, its epidemiology is described and techniques are discussed by which the disease could be brought under control. A review is made of all salmonellosis cases reported to the Department of Health Epidemiology Branch for calendar years 1987 to 1990. This data is compared with national and state laboratory data. Reports received by the Epidemiology Branch often lack sufficient information; this accounts for the sizable "unknown" entries. This frustrates a person's understanding of a more accurate incidence of the disease.
