During 1985-1989, state and territorial health departments reported 244 SE outbreaks, which accounted for 8607 cases of ill ness, 1094 hospitalizations, and 44 deaths. Of the 109 outbreaks in which a food vehicle was identified, 89 (82 percent) were associated with shell eggs. From January through October in both 1989 and 1990, 49 out breaks were reported. Four (8 per cent) of the 49 outbreaks reported in 1990 occurred in hospitals or nursing homes, compared with 20 (26 percent) of the 77 outbreaks in 1989. The decrease in hospital- and nursing home-associated SE out breaks may' reflect efforts to improve food safely in these set tings (in particular, using pasteur ized eggs).

Most cases of SE infection occur as sporadic cases or in lim ited family outbreaks. Many of these sporadic cases and limited outbreaks may be associated with consumption of contaminated eggs that have been insufficiently cooked to kill Salmonella. There fore, the occurrence of infections acquired by eating foods prepared in the kitchens of private homes might be reduced by improved education of consumers regarding the risks of eating raw or under cooked eggs and by increased availability of pasteurized eggs. To reduce the risk for SE infec tion in other settings, such as nurs ing homes and hospitals, pasteur ized egg products should be used in recipes that call for undercook ing or pooling of eggs. Similarly, commercial food service establish ments can reduce the risk of out breaks by using pasteurized egg products in such recipes. An estimated 0.01 percent (i.e., one in 10,000) of shell eggs con tain SE. Consequently, foods con taining raw or undercooked eggs (e.g., homemade eggnog, hollan daise sauce,' and Ceasar salad dressing) pose an occasional risk of infection with SE.
