This article discusses the pioneering use of a questionnaire to investigate a food borne disease outbreak in Great Britain. When limiting the diagnosis to enteric lever, the odds ratio for oysters was infinity. Cases also ate more pheasant and drank more aerated water but consumed less ice cream than the controls, but these three items were not associated with sickness in general. So that in this analysis too, the only item that comes out as a possible cause of the outbreak is the consumption of oysters. This episode is informative on many aspects of the history of outbreak investigations. It shows how serious the risk of dying from a food borne infection was in 1902. Forty six per cent of the guests became sick. |
