Nontyphoidal Salmonella causes a higher proportion of food-related deaths annually than any other bacterial pathogen in the United States. We reviewed 4 years (1996-1999) of population-based active surveillance data on laboratory-confirmed Salmonella infections from the Emerging Infections Program's Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet), to determine the rates of hospitalization and death associated with Salmonella infection. Overall, 22% of infected persons were hospitalized, with the highest rate (47%) among persons aged >60 years. Fifty-eight deaths occurred, for an estimated annual incidence of 0.08 deaths/100,000 population. These deaths accounted for 38% of all deaths reported through FoodNet from 1996 through 1999, and they occurred primarily among adults with serious underlying disease. Although Salmonella infection was seldom listed as a cause of death on hospital charts and death certificates, our chart review suggests that Salmonella infection contributed to these deaths.
在美国，非伤寒沙门氏菌每年导致的与食物相关的死亡比例高于任何其他细菌病原体。我们回顾了新兴传染病项目食源性疾病主动监测网络（FoodNet）基于人群的4年（1996 - 1999年）实验室确诊沙门氏菌感染的主动监测数据，以确定与沙门氏菌感染相关的住院率和死亡率。总体而言，22%的感染者住院治疗，60岁以上人群的住院率最高（47%）。发生了58例死亡，估计年发病率为0.08例死亡/10万人口。这些死亡占1996年至1999年通过FoodNet报告的所有死亡的38%，且主要发生在患有严重基础疾病的成年人中。尽管在医院病历和死亡证明上，沙门氏菌感染很少被列为死亡原因，但我们的病历审查表明，沙门氏菌感染导致了这些死亡。
