[Foodborne infections and intoxications in Poland in 2002].

A total of 26,734 bacterial foodborne infections and intoxications were registered in 2002 (incidence 69.9/100,000 population). S. Enteritidis was found in 94.8% of collective outbreaks (in Poland 4 sick people and more) and 90.4% cases in outbreaks caused by Salmonella of animal's source. The main vehicle of foodborne and waterborne outbreaks in 2002 was food prepared from various raw materials (3 and more) of animal's source (35.6% cases in outbreaks) and the next--from eggs (20.9% cases in outbreaks). Private homes prevailed (47.1% outbreaks, 66.2% outbreaks caused by Salmonella) among the places of the ready made food production. Ten epidemics with 100 and more cases each, were registered. Six deaths were noted in outbreaks in 2002 (2--in the result of salmonellosis of the animal's source, 1--in the result of staphylococcal infection and 3--after chemical poisoning).

A total number of 103 cases and 4 deaths of poisoning caused by chemicals for plant protection were registered in Poland in 2002 (incidence 0.27 per 100,000 population). There were: 68 cases (66% of total) after intake of chemicals (after suicidal intake--36% and 3 deaths, after accidental intake--22%, after intake with food--6% and 2%--after exposition at undetermined circumstances of intake); 22 cases (21%) after exposition at agricultural labour, connected with spray of chemicals without adequate protective clothing; 11% (1 death) after exposition in other situation; and 2%--after exposition in undetermined situation. In 2002 were registered four outbreaks: two (four and two cases) after intake of food, one (two cases) after exposition during weeding before lapse of a currency period and one (two cases) after exposition at chemical in spray and during connected weeding.

[Poisoning caused by chemicals for plant protection in Poland in 2001].

A total number of 220 cases of poisoning caused by chemicals for plant protection were registered in Poland in 2001 (incidence 0.57 per 100,000 population). The large number of cases occurred in one outbreak (104 cases; 47.3%). In this outbreak inhalation exposure took place in a school after spraying of HUKINOL AL (repelant for animals) by pupils. Course of disease in these cases was mild. Among remaining cases there were:--poisoning after intake of chemicals for plant protection (14.5% after suicidal intake, 21.4% after accidental intake, 1.4% after intake with fruits and one case--undetermined circumstances of intake);--poisoning after exposure at agricultural labour (10.0%); and--exposition in other or undetermined situation (2.3%). In 2001 were registered two outbreaks: above mentioned 104 cases and two cases (children) after intake of plums before lapse of a currency period. In total in 2001 eleven people died as a result of poisoning by chemicals for plant protection.

Similarly as in the previous year, most of these cases (41) were occurred in wielkopolskie voivodeship. A large outbreak (40 cases) in this voivodeship resulted from consumption of the raw smoked sausage made from the boar. Sources of the infestation in 50 cases were more than 5 boars and 3 pigs.
