The investigations were carried out on the grounds of data supplied by the State Sanitary Epidemiological Station in Lublin and focused on the occurrence of salmonelloses in humans from Lublin. The incidence analysis was made regarding age and sex groups. The percentage of each serovar of Salmonella rods as well as seasonality of salmonellose morbidity was also considered. In the years 1995-2005 2894 cases of salmonelloses were recorded in the city of Lublin, with the peak in 1995 (386). The morbidity rate varied according to year, seasonality, age and sex. The dominant serovars isolated in the diseased human organisms appeared to be S. Enteritidis as well as S. Hadar and S. Virchow. The highest morbidity rate was shown in the youngest age groups, i.e. from 0-4 years and generally higher percentages were recorded for women as opposed to men.
