“…Le-ti pa predstavljajo del vseh okuženih oziroma obolelih s ČNB, ker je samo del ČNB laboratorijsko potrjen in prijavljen.

Population based self-reported acute gastrointestinal infection in slovenia: multiplier study

“…In fact, AGI caused by some bacterial pathogens (e.g. salmonellosis in developed countries) have decreased, others have even increased or re-emerged and the epidemiological situation remains dynamic (1). The real burden of all AGI can be assessed only through burden of disease studies.…”

“…Acute gastrointestinal infection (AGI) continues to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the developing world as well as in developed countries, accounting for an estimated 1.78 million deaths and 58.7 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) (1). To measure the exact burden of AGI by means of epidemiological studies is a demanding task (2).…”
