Chronic Sequelae of Foodborne Disease [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1997
In the past decade the complexity of foodborne pathogens, as well as their adaptability and ability to cause acute illness, and in some cases chronic (secondary) complications, have been newly appreciated. This overview examines long-term consequences of foodborne infections and intoxications to emphasize the need for more research and education.
