title: Prevalence of infections of the Salmonella strains in the Lublin voivodeship and in Poland in the years 1980-2000.
abstract: The aim of the paper is presentation of the prevalence of infections of the Salmonella strains in the Lublin voivodeship in the years 1980-2000 in comparison with their nationwide prevalence in the same period. The analysed material comprised epidemiological data concerning the incidence rates of salmonelloses registered in Poland in the studied period. Since the beginning of the 1980s there was observed a constantly increasing trend in incidence rates of salmonelloses. After 1988 throughout Poland and after 1990 in the Lublin voivodeship there was noted gradual decline in incidence of infections caused by Salmonellas. Administrative decisions and recent improvements in sanitary situation in our country caused appearance of that favourable, decreasing trend of incidence rates of salmonelloses. The statistics concerning extraintestinal infections with Salmonellas are still unreliable, especially in the Lublin voivodeship.
