Abstract:
Foodborne illness is a common, costly yet preventable
public health problem. Every year in the United States,
17 percent of Americans get sick, as a result of consuming
contaminated foods or beverages. During 2017-2018, We
have observed Food borne diseases in Transylvania region,
Romania, and did a complex epidemiological and clinical
study, and made the right interpretations and conclusions
of each cases. Most cases appeared in adults with several
chronic illnesses, in 56%, men in 68% from Rural side in
57%. The pathology was relevant in family events, when
food contamination occurred probably at any point,
from: production, processing, distribution, or any meals
preparation with eggs, milk and meat products. There were
several forms from simple one, in 70%, middle one, in 22%
to severe who arrived in totality to 8% and needed almost
several days of hospitalization. These food- born infection
have had the etiology of: Salmonella spp in 67%, mostly
Salmonella enteritidis in 29% Other 14% were determined
by Staphylococcus aureus and in 19% forms, we could not
put in evidence in our labs any microbiological determinant.
To protect people from such disease there is needed to
survive correct each chain of food production, processing,
transportation, handling, and all preparation steps.
