Abstract

Between 18 October and the end of 2001, 16 cases of Salmonella Oranienburg were reported in Denmark. One patient probably acquired the infection in Africa; the remaining 15 had not been travelling before onset of disease. The patients were mostly elderly; several of them had a serious underlying illness. In contrast, only two cases had been reported in 2001 before 18 October.
