Salmonella cases rise in Denmark

Eurosurveillance report that an outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium phage type U292 that has been ongoing in Denmark since 1 April, now has 1,054 cases that have been registered up until 23 October 2008. I last wrote an update in October when 400 cases had been identified. It further suggests that extensive investigations have not provided clear indications of a specific source of infection but the main hypothesis is that the vehicle of the outbreak are different pork products.
