The most common type of outbreaks were households outbreaks. Over seventy percent of patients were hospitalized, however the hospitalization rate was higher for extraintestinal manifestations--94.7%. As in previous years the seasonal peak was observed in July and August. The most frequently isolated type remained Salmonella Enteritidis--over 80% of cases. Only four other serotypes (Typhimurium, Hadar, Infantis and Virchow) were detected in all voivodeships.
