Abstract

In June 2004, a total of 96 food poisoning cases were determined in university workers and hospitalized patients in the Afyon Kocatepe University. The causes of this food poisoning were investigated in this study. Patients and Methods: Patients had symptoms of diarrhea, abdominal pain, weakness, fever, nausea and vomiting. Cultures for bacteria were obtained from the food and patients. Microbiologic and epidemiologic study was performed. Results: Salmonella typhimurium (n=18) and Shigella dysenteria (n=25) were isolated in the samples obtained from the cases, but bacteria weren’t isolated from food samples. Conclusion: The food poisoning occured most likely as a result of contamination of water containers in which the food was washed. Food products should be washed in fresh and clean water to prevent further poisoning incidents.

Özet

Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi’nde Haziran 2004’te üniversite çalışanı ve yatan hastalardan toplam 96 kişide besin zehirlenmesi saptandı. Çal şmamızda bu besin zehirlenmesinin nedenleri incelendi. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Hastalarda diyare, abdominal ağrı, zayıflık, ateş, bulantı ve kusma semptomları vardı. Hastalardan ve besinlerden kültür örnekleri alınarak mikrobiyolojik ve epidemiyolojik inceleme yapıldı. Bulgular: Hastalardan alınan örneklerin 18’inde Salmonella typhimurium, 25’inde Shigella dysenteria üredi, fakat gıda örneklerinden bakteri izole edilemedi. Sonuç: Gıda zehirlenmesinin büyük olasılıkla gı- daların yıkandığı su tanklarının kontaminasyonuna bağlı olduğu düşünüldü. Bu gibi zehirlenmelerin önlenmesi için besin ürünleri taze ve temiz su ile yıkanmalıdır.
