Despite rigorous control measures by local, state, and federal health agencies, salmonellosis continues to be one of America's most troublesome epidemiological problems. Salmonellosis, a reportable disease, is estimated to infect more than two million persons each year. However, only 10 to 12 percent of cases are actually reported. To study the impact of salmonellosis at Howard University Hospital, the authors made a statistical analysis of non-typhosa Salmonella isolated during a two-year period. The study emphasizes the epidemiological aspects of, and useful isolation and identification techniques for, non-typhosa Salmonella.
