PLEASE DO QUESTION ONE ON A SEPARATE PAGE FROM QUESTION 2. -
On June 1, 2001, 13 people became ill after attending a retirement dinner for a colleague. The symptoms were acute gastritis, vomiting, and fever. Using the food histories in the following table for the 20 individuals attending the dinner, construct an attack rate table and determine the most likely source of the outbreak. Justify your response.
Person Became Ill? Ate Beef? Ate Chicken? Ate Salad? 1 yes yes yes yes 2 yes yes yes no 3 yes no yes yes 4 No yes NO NO 5 YES YES NO YES 6 NO YES NO NO 7 YES YES YES YES 8 YES YES NO YES 9 YES NO YES NO 10 NO NO YES NO 11 YES YES YES NO 12 NO NO NO YES 13 NO NO NO NO 14 YES YES YES YES 15 NO N O NO YES 16 NO NO YES NO 17 YES YES NO YES 18 YES YES NO YES 19 YES YES YES NO 20 YES YES YES NO
of 33%. - In a small community of 460 residents, 87 attended a social event that included a meal prepared by several individuals. Within 3 days, 39 of those who attended the event became ill with a condition diagnosed as salmonella enterocolitis. What is the attack rate among attendees? Interpret your result.
- In a community of 800 households (population 4320), public health authorities found 120 persons with condition X in 80 households. A total of 480 persons lived in the 80 affected households. Assuming that each household had only one primary case, what is the secondary attack rate? Interpret your result.
- A flu outbreak occurred in a small college dormitory that housed 20 students. Case A began on October 1 and case B was diagnosed on October 2. After approximately 10 days, 12 additional cases occurred during approximately a one-week time span. University epidemiologists believed that this second group of cases represented the same generation of cases, and was in the second incubation period after the occurrences of cases A and B; none of the 20 students was known to be immune. Calculate and interpret the secondary attack rate.
