Resumen
Food-borne diseases (FBD) constitute a growing and important public health problem, causing morbidity and mortality mainly in children, the elderly and pregnant women; in addition to economic problems worldwide. In order to know their behavior and establish foundations, what to do, create policies, programs and strategies for their control and prevention, a descriptive, retrospective and longitudinal study of the cases of FBD reported to the Department of Health Secretariat of Córdoba (DHSC ) in the period between 2012 and 2017. In the observation window, 2,533 cases of FBD were notified to the surveillance system -SIVIGILA, allowing an incidence rate of 25 cases per 100.000 inhabitants in the Department to be estimated. The reports made it possible to establish that the population most affected by pathologies associated with food during this period was female. Likewise, the age group most affected are infants and children from 0 to 4 years old and the ethnic group called "other", characterized as people who do not identify themselves in any ethnic group. Most of the reported cases were found in the urban capital, especially in Montería, Tierralta, Sahagún, Chinú and Cereté. The prevalent place was the home, followed by street sales and educational institutions. Regarding the implicated food and etiological agent, the DHSC has little information in this regard, however, it was found that most of the samples analyzed present as a result "Pending" or "Not identified" and that the agents frequently identified were E. coli, Salmonella spp., total coliforms and Sthaphylococcus aureus. Also, all food samples collected in the field investigation were cheese.
