The incidence of waterborne typhoid fever and other intestinal infections in Britain since 1937 is reviewed. In the light of the current very low incidence of indigenous typhoid fever, it is suggested that the examination of relevant waterworks staff and prospective employees for carriage of the agents of potentially waterborne disease should be done selectively by appropriate laboratory tests only when indications for them are revealed by medical assessment.
回顾了自1937年以来英国水源性伤寒热及其他肠道感染的发病率。鉴于目前本土伤寒热的发病率极低,建议仅在医学评估显示有必要时,通过适当的实验室检测,有选择地对相关自来水厂工作人员和未来员工进行潜在水源性疾病病原体携带情况的检查。
