[BDSP. Notice produite par INVS FxlsfR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. During 2003, information on 45 outbreaks of gastrointestinal infections in people returning to Scotland from abroad was circulated by the Scottish Centre for Infection and Environmental Health (SCIEH). Salmonella was the most frequently reported organism, identified in 24 outbreaks. Fourteen of these were caused by Salmonella Enteritidis. Cryptosporidium was identified in 11 outbreaks and Shigella in six. In four outbreaks, more than one organism was identified : three of Salmonella and Campylobacter and one of Cryptosporidium and Salmonella.
