Food Borne Disorder
Presentation
- This article discusses multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis, single-nucleotide polymorphisms, nucleic acid sequencing, whole genome sequencing, variable absent or present loci, microarrays and MS as potential subtyping methods to enhance[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Linking to a non-federal website does not constitute an endorsement by CDC or any of its employees of the sponsors or the information and products presented on the website.[cdc.gov]
- OBJECTIVES: To present the first update on the epidemiology of US foodborne correctional institution outbreaks in 20 years.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Contamination most frequently occurs via the fecal-oral route, when pathogens are present in the feces of ill, convalescent, or otherwise colonized persons.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- […] the fourth in a series reviewing the role of food workers in foodborne outbreaks, background information on the presence of enteric pathogens in the community, the numbers of organisms required to initiate an infection, and the length of carriage are presented[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
Fishing
- Abstract Each year in the United States, 260,000 people get sick from contaminated fish. Fish is also the most commonly implicated food category in outbreaks.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- The pathogen-commodity pairs most commonly responsible for outbreaks were scombroid toxin/histamine and fish (317 outbreaks), ciguatoxin and fish (172 outbreaks), Salmonella and poultry (145 outbreaks), and norovirus and leafy vegetables (141 outbreaks[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Of outbreaks with a single food reported and a confirmed aetiology, fish (254 outbreaks, 34%) was most commonly implicated, and these outbreaks were commonly caused by scombroid toxin (219 outbreaks, 86% of fish outbreaks).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Gastrointestinal
Vomiting
- Likewise, if symptoms persist or are severe (such as bloody diarrhea, excessive nausea and vomiting, or high temperature), call your doctor.[fsis.usda.gov]
- The most common symptoms were dizziness (58.9%), nausea and vomiting (36.3%). 181 patients (54.4%) received intravenous fluid infusion and blood tests were ordered for 82 (24.6%). All patients were discharged except one who required admission.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- A worker may exhibit obvious signs of illness, such as vomiting, but even if the ill worker immediately leaves the work environment, residual vomitus can contaminate food, contact surfaces, and fellow workers unless the clean-up process is meticulous.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- A suspected foodborne disease was any person in the affected community with abdominal pain, vomiting and or diarrhea between 25(th) and 30(th) September 2014 and had eaten from the food joint.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Foodborne disease is an illness, usually in the form of vomiting and diarrhea, that occurs after you eat foods that have been contaminated with bacteria, viruses or parasites called pathogens.[livestrong.com]

Abdominal Cramps
- Severe nausea, abdominal cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea occur 30 minutes to 6 hours after eating; recovery from 1 to 3 days — longer if severe dehydration occurs.[fsis.usda.gov]
- Numerous organisms cause similar symptoms, especially diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and nausea.[web.archive.org]
- cramps may be present.[emedicine.com]
- Symptoms may develop within one to eight hours after eating and may include vomiting, diarrhea, nausea and abdominal cramps lasting one to two days.[emsaonline.com]
Neurologic
Slurred Speech
- Symptoms usually appear 18 to 36 hours, but can sometimes appear as few as 6 hours or as many as 10 days after eating; double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, and muscle weakness.[fsis.usda.gov]
Treatment
- Abstract Although most non-typhoidal Salmonella illnesses are self-limiting, antimicrobial treatment is critical for invasive infections.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- These illnesses can be especially difficult to quantify because medical treatment is not sought.[ift.org]
- Causative Agents Source and Clinical Features Pathogenesis Diagnosis and Treatment Staphylococci Improperly stored foods with high salt or sugar content favors growth of staphylococci.[emedicine.com]
- A wide array of interventions has been developed to reduce the carriage of foodborne pathogens in poultry and livestock, including genetic selection of animals resistant to colonization, treatments to prevent vertical transmission of enteric pathogens[doi.org]

Prognosis
- Prognosis Nontyphoid Salmonella is generally self-limiting. Most patients are treated on an outpatient basis. Extremes of age and an immunocompromised state increases morbidity and mortality. Typhoid Salmonella generally requires treatment.[emedicine.com]
- There has been 1 case report of resolution of symptoms after installation of filters in an air-conditioning system, which lowered mold-colony counts. 24, 25 The overall prognosis for children with hypersensitivity pneumonitis is excellent.[doi.org]
Etiology
- An etiologic agent was confirmed in 715 (60%); a food vehicle was identified in 387 (32%).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- In 72% of non-laboratory-confirmed outbreaks, the etiology was assigned by using clinical-epidemiological profiles; thus, 93% of outbreaks eventually were associated with an etiology.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Among the 18 reported deaths, 11 were attributed to bacterial etiologies (five Salmonella, three Listeria monocytogenes, two Escherichia coli O157:H7, and one Clostridium botulinum), two to viral etiologies (norovirus), and one to a chemical (mushroom[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Among 637 outbreaks (74%) with a confirmed etiology, scombrotoxin (349 [55%]) and ciguatoxin (227 [36%]) were by far most common.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
