Scottish Figures Rise

12th November 2008

During the first 28 weeks of 2008, Health Protection Scotland received 87 laboratory reports of E.coli O157 infections, an increase of 20 (30%) on the same period in 2007. Although reports to week 28 in 2007 were 32% lower than the same period in 2006, the increase this year is still noteworthy.

This increase has occurred in most NHS boards, suggesting that environmental factors may play a larger part in the increase than foodborne risks. Up to July 2008, monthly rainfall has been above average in many regions of Scotland and heavy rainfall reportedly preceded a number of livestock-related outbreaks in previous years.
