Reports of human infection with Salmonella typhimurium definitive type (DT) 104 have generated considerable interest. We undertook a descriptive study of infections with S. typhimurium DT 104 infection in humans and farm animals in Herefordshire between 1991 and 1993. Laboratory reports of human salmonellosis, sent to the consultant in communicable disease control, were compared with cases identified using Statutory Incident Reports of salmonella in animals, birds and their products, received from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. Six separate associations of infection between farming families and their livestock were identified. Nine out of 23 human cases, including three family outbreaks, were associated with animal infection. This study suggests that occupationally acquired infection in farmers and their families may be contributing to the national increase in cases, and shows the value of drawing together data from human and animal sources for the surveillance, investigation, and control of human infection with S. typhimurium DT104.
关于人类感染鼠伤寒沙门氏菌定型（DT）104的报告引起了广泛关注。我们对1991年至1993年间赫里福德郡人类和农场动物感染鼠伤寒沙门氏菌DT104的情况进行了描述性研究。将发送给传染病控制顾问的人类沙门氏菌病实验室报告与从农业、渔业和食品部收到的动物、鸟类及其产品中沙门氏菌法定事件报告所确定的病例进行了比较。确定了六个农民家庭与其牲畜之间的独立感染关联。23例人类病例中有9例，包括3起家庭暴发，与动物感染有关。这项研究表明，农民及其家庭的职业性感染可能是全国病例增加的原因之一，并显示了整合来自人类和动物来源的数据用于监测、调查和控制人类感染鼠伤寒沙门氏菌DT104的价值。
