Salmonella food poisoning.

During an outbreak of Salmonella typhimurium food poisoning in September 1983, in Sydney, 10 affected subjects were admitted to the same hospital. On admission to hospital, all patients were severely dehydrated; two patients developed acute tubular necrosis, while a third patient had myopericarditis. Bacteraemia was confirmed in two patients, in one of whom no organisms were isolated from stool cultures. Antibiotic agents were administered to all patients, because of the unusually severe nature of the infection. This outbreak illustrates that salmonella gastroenteritis, although usually fairly mild and self-limiting, can be a virulent disease resulting in serious complications. Appropriate management should include careful initial assessment of suspected cases, vigorous correction of fluid and electrolyte disturbances, and judicious use of antibiotic agents when bacteraemia or severe toxaemic features are present.

[Changes in myocardial enzyme spectrum and electrocardiogram after Salmonella food poisoning].

OBJECTIVE: To study the changes in myocardial enzyme spectrum in relation to electrocardiogram (ECG) in Salmonella food poisoning. METHODS: The myocardial enzyme spectrum and ECG of 56 patients with Salmonella food poisoning were examined, with 34 normal subjects serving as the control group. RESULTS: In the food poisoning group, the myocardial enzyme activities was increased in 36 cases (64.29%) within 2 days after the poisoning and the ECG of 33 cases (58.93%) showed abnormal changes within 1-4 days. The levels of creatine phosphoskinase (CPK) and alpha-hydroxybutyrate acid dehydrogenase (alpha-HBDH) in poisoning group were obviously higher than those in the control group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Routine examination of myocardial enzyme spectrum and ECG helps define early changes in patients with Salmonella food poisoning for clinical treatment decision.

Trends in salmonella food poisoning in England and Wales 1941-72.

Cattle and pig herds and flocks of domestic fowl have formed the main reservoir of human salmonella food poisoning in England and Wales from 1941 to 1972. Changes in the incidence of human salmonella food poisoning and in the serotypes of salmonellas isolated from human infections are shown to have been associated with the introduction of new foods, with changes in animal husbandry, and with changes in the relative proportions of flesh food from different species consumed. New foods, dried powdered egg, liquid egg and frozen liquid egg were introduced during the period of food rationing which extended from 1940 to 1953. Changes in animal husbandry, in particular the intensive production of pigs, poultry and eggs, followed the re-establishment of pig herds and fowl flocks after the derationing of animal feed in 1953. The changes in the proportions of flesh foods consumed followed the introduction of frozen oven-ready fowl in the late 1950s and early 1960s which by 1964 became cheaper than traditional flesh foods.

Risk factors for salmonella food poisoning in the domestic kitchen--a case control study.

Domestic kitchen food handling risk factors for sporadic salmonella food poisoning are largely unknown. We compared food consumption and food handling practices, opportunities for cross contamination and refrigerator temperature control, in 99 households in South East Wales in 1997/8 with a case of salmonella food poisoning, and control households matched for electoral ward. On univariate analyses, cases were significantly more likely than control respondents to have purchased free-range eggs in the preceding week, and more likely than control households to have handled frozen whole chicken in the previous week, and to handle raw chicken portions at least weekly. In multivariate analysis, only consumption of raw eggs and handling free-range eggs were significant risk factors, independent of the age structure of the family and of the season.

Morbidity and mortality in salmonella food poisoning. A review of 47 in-patient cases.

Forty-seven new patients with salmonella food poisoning were admitted to the Infectious Diseases Unit at the City Hospital, Edinburgh, during 1975. Although all the patients had diarrhoea at some stage of their illness, the wide variety of presenting symptoms caused some diagnostic difficulties prior to the isolation of the organism. A probable predisposing factor to serious disease was recognised in 15 patients. Twenty patients (42.5%) were seriously ill and 4 patients (8.5%) died. This series stresses the potential severity of this common disease.
