Excess salmonellosis in women in the United States: 1968–2000

We describe recent epidemiological changes in salmonellosis. Linking 1968–2000 National Salmonella Surveillance System to census data, we calculated population-based age- and sex-stratified rates of non-urinary salmonellosis for the top 30 non-typhoidal serotypes. Using 1996–1997, 1998–1999, and 200...

Zusammenfassung:	We describe recent epidemiological changes in salmonellosis. Linking 1968–2000 National Salmonella Surveillance System to census data, we calculated population-based age- and sex-stratified rates of non-urinary salmonellosis for the top 30 non-typhoidal serotypes. Using 1996–1997, 1998–1999, and 2000–2001 population-based FoodNet surveys, we compared reported diarrhoea, medical visits, and stool cultures. Despite an overall female-to-male incidence rate ratio (FMRR) of 0·99, the sex-specific burden of salmonellosis varied by age (
