We examined the costs of a typhoid fever outbreak caused by exposures to contaminated food over a 47-day period at a restaurant. For the 49 respondents, the patient-related costs (+215,548) were primarily medical expenses (+183,902) and lost income or productivity (+28,603). The estimated patient-related costs for all 80 outbreak-associated cases was +351,920. Had contaminated food continued to be served, the prevention-related costs (+36,500) would have been offset by patient-related costs (+7,488/day) within 5 days.
我们调查了一家餐厅在47天内因食用受污染食物引发伤寒热疫情的成本。对于49名受访者，与患者相关的成本（+215,548）主要是医疗费用（+183,902）和收入或生产力损失（+28,603）。所有80例与疫情相关病例的估计患者相关成本为+351,920。如果继续供应受污染食物，5天内与预防相关的成本（+36,500）将被与患者相关的成本（每天+7,488）抵消。
