This study presents the findings of a national survey of 1482 cases of salmonellosis reported to Environmental Health Departments in England and Wales between August 1988 and March 1989. A questionnaire survey of ill individuals and the environmental health officers who investigated them sought information about costs which were imposed upon public health authorities, the health sector, individuals and their families and the costs to the wider economy in terms of lost production. Costs of 996,339 pounds were identified. Over half (507,555 pounds) resulted from lost production due to sickness absence and more than a third (392,822 pounds) were costs to the public sector which resulted from health care and local authority investigation of cases. The remaining costs (95,962 pounds), although the smallest proportion of the total, indicated that salmonellosis can have a significant impact on affected individuals and their families.
本研究展示了一项全国性调查的结果，该调查针对1988年8月至1989年3月期间向英格兰和威尔士环境卫生部门报告的1482例沙门氏菌病病例。对患病个体及其进行调查的环境卫生官员开展了问卷调查，以获取有关公共卫生当局、卫生部门、个人及其家庭所承担成本的信息，以及从生产损失方面了解对更广泛经济造成的成本。确定的成本为996,339英镑。超过一半（507,555英镑）是由于因病缺勤导致的生产损失，超过三分之一（392,822英镑）是公共部门因医疗保健和地方当局对病例进行调查而产生的成本。其余成本（95,962英镑）虽然在总数中占比最小，但表明沙门氏菌病会对受影响的个人及其家庭产生重大影响。
