Intestinal Bacterial Infections

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Spezielle pathologische Anatomie ((SPEZIELLE,volume 8))

Abstract

Most of the diseases to be described in this chapter may occur throughout the world, but have largely disappeared in many temperate regions and now occur mostly in the tropics and subtropics. The diseases flourish wherever sanitary conditions are bad and water supplies are polluted. As sanitation and the quality of the water supplies improved throughout Western Europe, North America and Australasia during the latter half of the 19th Century the incidence of the intestinal bacterial infections in these areas dropped dramatically. Cholera, except for occasional sporadic cases introduced by travellers returning from endemic areas, has now almost disappeared from Western Europe, North America and Australasia where formerly it was endemic.
