A Review of Human Salmonellosis: III. Magnitude of Salmonella Infection in the United States
Abstract
National surveillance for salmonella infections was established in 1962, following recognition of the importance of Salmonella organisms as the cause of potentially preventable infectious disease in the United States. Reports of infections due to Salmonella have risen progressively to approximately 40,000 per year. In contrast, the parallel reporting system for infections due to Shigella shows no such increase. Because a passive surveillance system is used, it has been assumed salmonella infections have been substantially underreported. Three independent methods-determination of carriage rates, calculation of sequential surveillance artifacts, and calculation of overall surveillance artifact-were used to estimate the annual number of salmonella infections in the United States; the results were compared with those of a previous study. These methods produced estimates ranging from 800,000 to 3,700,000 (mean = 1,900,000; median = 1,400,000) infections annually. Accurate assessment of the number of infections is important for determining complication rates and for evaluating the efficacy of control programs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
