Abstract

We experienced five cases of Salmonella oranienburg infection in children living in Saitama prefecture. Thereafter the number of patients with S. oranienburg infection increased not only in Saitama (55 cases) but also in other parts of Japan in 1999 (1,505 cases) in 1999. The source of S. oranienburg infection was identified as a snack made from semi-dry cuttlefish.
