Przeql Epidemiol (2012)

A total of 9,732 salmonellosis cases were reported in Poland in 2010. Among them 8,549 cases were intestinal and 183 were extraintestinal. The incidence rate was 25.5 per 100,000 inhabitants. The most common etiologic agent in Poland is Salmonella enteritidis. When compared to previous years, in 2010 there was an increase in the number of cases caused by S. Mbandaka, S. Infantis and S. Virchow. It seems salmonellosis in Poland is largely under-diagnosis and under-reported.
