A significant increase in the number of isolations of Salmonella enteritidis has been observed in Argentina since 1986. Outbreaks of foodborne diseases in humans were associated with the consumption of raw or undercooked hens' eggs. Between 1986 and the first 6 months of 1993 there were 150 outbreaks reported, affecting more than 6000 persons. A total of 71.3% of these outbreaks were confirmed by stool cultures, and 47.3% by bacteriological study of the food implicated in the outbreak. A permanent surveillance of salmonellosis is imperative, taking into account the persistence of Salmonella enteritidis isolations in sporadic cases and in new outbreaks.
自1986年以来,阿根廷肠炎沙门氏菌的分离数量显著增加。人类食源性疾病的爆发与食用生的或未煮熟的鸡蛋有关。1986年至1993年上半年,共报告了150起疫情,影响了6000多人。这些疫情中,71.3%通过粪便培养得到确诊,47.3%通过对疫情所涉食物进行细菌学研究得到确诊。鉴于肠炎沙门氏菌在散发病例和新疫情中持续存在,对沙门氏菌病进行持续监测势在必行。
