우리나라의 식중독 발생동향 조사연구 - 통계자료를 중심으로 -

This study was conducted to prepare some information about food poisoning outbreaks in Korea. In this study, all reported data were reviewed, but the data during recent ten years (1977-1986) were mainly analyzed because of data shortage. We used three year moving averages in order to investigate the trend to food poisoning outbreaks, by year, foodborne pathogens, specific foods, and place food contaminated or mishandled.
