Popis: SummaryObjectivesTo determine: (1) the incidence of invasive salmonellosis, (2) the distribution of specific Salmonella serotypes associated with invasive disease, and (3) the role of demographic characteristics in invasive salmonellosis in Michigan.DesignWe conducted a cross-sectional study using laboratory-confirmed cases of salmonellosis reported to the Michigan Department of Community Health between 1995 and 2001.MethodsAverage annual incidences (AAIs) for invasive salmonellosis were computed, and Poisson regression analysis was used to model the association between demographic attributes and invasive salmonellosis.ResultsOf 6797 cases of salmonellosis, 347 (5.1%) were characterized as invasive having an AAI of 0.5/100000. A covariate-adjusted Poisson model showed children aged
