title: [Salmonellosis in Poland in 2006].
abstract: In 2006, 13 362 salmonellosis cases were reported (16 006 in 2005), the incidence rate was 35.0 per 100 000 population. In total 298 outbreaks were reported involving 2 965 cases. 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. The age, gender, and urban/rural distributions of salmonellosis are similar to the distributions observed in previous years. Children aged 2 are the most affected age group (incidence 391.6 per 100 000 population).
