2005: Zielinski Andrzej; Czarkowski Miroslaw P
[Infectious diseases in Poland in 2003]
Przegla¸d epidemiologiczny 2005;59(2):191-9.
The most frequent infectious disease as in the previous years was influenza. 1,216,285 cases were reported (3,184.4/100,000). Number of foodborne infections and intoxications remains high--20,221 cases (52.9/100,000). 81.6% of them were caused by Salmonella. In 15.5% of them etiologic factor was not found. In this number Campylobacter infections, rarely tested in Poland may be hidden. Especially alarming is number of cases of diarrhea among children 0-2. Seasonality of childhood diarrhea indicates domination of viral infections, most probably rotaviral among them. There was noted decrease of incidence of newly diagnosed cases of viral hepatitis B (4.7/100,000) which dropped to the level of the incidence of viral hepatitis C (5.9/100,000). Hepatitis A remains at the low level (0.39/100,000). Level of newly diagnosed cases of AIDS (116 cases, 0.36/100,000) remains relatively stable for last few years. The major problem is decreasing reporting of possible risk factors. Infectious diseases caused 0.75% of deaths. Mortality from infectious diseases was 7.2/100,000 and was significantly higher among men (9.5) then among women (5.0). In urban settings mortality from infectious diseases was higher (7.3/100,000) then in the country (6.9). As in previous years, the highest number of deaths was caused by tuberculosis and its late sequels (34.4%). Attention should be given to the increased number of deaths due to sepsis (32.3%, without neonatal sepsis).
