| Popis: | In recent years in many countries, in contrast to the decreasing incidence of typhoid and paratyphoid fevers, there has been a considerable rise in the number of infections caused by other types of Salmonella (Brodhage, 1963; Mihalyfi, Kende, Jonas & Vamos, 1961; Galton, Steel & Newell, 1964; Peluffo, 1964; Seeliger & Maya, 1964; Silberstein & Gerichter, 1964; Stahn, 1963). In Poland in 1957 infections with salmonellas, excluding S. typhi and S. paratyphi A and B, were found in 994 sick and 780 healthy persons, and the corresponding figures for 1963 are 3047 and 2369 respectively (Buczowski, unpublished data). In 1964 the number of cases of salmonellosis increased still more. Though in previous years the dominant type was S. typhimurium (65-75 % of the total) from 1963 S. enteritidis infections were the most frequent. Most of these infections were in infants, and occurred in the form of more or less intensive hospital epidemics. Since there have been very few reports of infections with S. enteritidis (Crainz, Lombardo & Romagnoli, 1960; Kanski, Moszkowska & Skunska, 1947; Nowgorodzkaja, 1957; Swicowa, Kulczynska & Prus, 1962) it appears useful to present observations on certain microbiological and epidemiological properties of these infections. |
