- Abstract
"In late June 2004, two clusters of three cases each (N=6) of Salmonella braenderup were diagnosed in Kansas. One cluster was located in Johnson County (Northeast Kansas) and the other in Ford County. The six cases had the same pulse field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) pattern and were later linked using the same technique to approximately 137 cases in 19 states. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) coordinated the investigation of cases due to the multi-state nature of the potential outbreak. The CDC decided to conduct a case control study using a survey they developed. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment conducted a separate investigation in conjunction with the two local health departments in the counties where the cases were located. The information that follows describes the investigation of the two clusters in Kansas by the Epidemiology Services Section (ESS) of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE)."
