Abstract:Objective To analyze the active surveillance results of foodborne diseases in Shenyang city from 2016 to 2018, and to find out the epidemiological features of foodborne diseases. Methods The faecal specimens were collected from four sentinel hospitals in Shenyang city during 2016-2018 for the detection of Salmonella, Vibrio parahemolyticus, Shigella, diarrheogenil Escherichia coli and norovirus. Results A total of 1,365 faecal samples were collected during 2016-2018. 197 strains of pathogens were detected, accounting for 14.43% (197/1,365). No statistically significant differences were found in the total detection rate among different years (χ2=1.04, P>0.05). The detection rate of norovirus was the highest (136/1,365, 9.96%), followed by Vibrio parahemolyticus (49/1,365, 3.59%). Symptoms and signs of pathogen-positive cases were mainly diarrhea (100.00%), abdominal pain (57.87%), nausea (55.84%), vomiting (48.22%), fever (48.22%) and watery stool (47.72%). The highest incidence was found in the age group of 25-34 years (24.20%). The most common occupations were housekeeping and unemployment (23.35%). The main exposed foods were meat and meat products (21.62%), aquatic animals and their products (21.17%).
