Overview
The annual incidence of listeriosis in the United States is approximately 0.2-0.3 cases per 100,000 individuals.[1] The incidence of listeriosis is higher among females (especially pregnant women), neonates, elderly individuals, and Hispanic individuals. Listeriosis has a worldwide distribution in both developed and developing countries.[2]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The annual incidence of listeriosis in the United States is approximately 0.2-0.3 cases per 100,000 individuals.[1]
- The CDC estimates that approximately 1600 illnesses and 260 deaths due to listeriosis occur annually in the United States.[2]
- Compared with the 1980s, the incidence of listeriosis significantly declined by 42% in the past 10 years. The incidence of listeriosis is thought to have plateaued.[3]
Age
Listeriosis occurs more frequently in neonates and in the elderly.
Gender
- Since listeriosis affects pregnant women (approximately 30% of all cases), women are more likely to develop listeriosis compared with men.
- There is no predilection to listeriosis when men and non-pregnant women are compared.
Race
- Racial predilection to the development of listeriosis is unconfirmed.
- Pregnant Hispanic women are thought to be at higher risk of developing listeriosis, but the association with the disease may be due to pregnancy or due to ethnicity.[4]
Geographical Distribution
Listeriosis has a worldwide distribution in both developed and developing countries.[5]
