Overview
In 2013, the average annual incidence of listeriosis in the United States was 0.26 cases per 100,000 individuals.[1] The disease has a worldwide distribution, with sporadic incidence affecting mostly immunosuppressed patients, pregnant women, neonates, and elderly subjects.[2]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- In 2013, the average annual incidence of listeriosis in the United States was 0.26 cases per 100,000 individuals.[1]
- Between 2009 and 2011, the average annual incidence of listeriosis in the United States was 0.29 cases per 100,000 population.[2]
- The CDC estimates that approximately 1600 illnesses and 260 deaths due to listeriosis occur annually in the United States.[2]
- Compared to 1996-1998, the incidence of listeriosis had declined by about 42% by 2012. However, there was no observed change in incidence of listeriosis in 2012 compared to 2006-2008.[3]
- Compared to 1996-1998, the incidence of listeriosis has declined about 37% by 2001.[2]
- Pregnant women account for 30% of all cases.[4] Of all nonperinatal infections, 70% occur in immunocompromised patients.
Outbreaks
In 2012, 831 foodborne outbreaks were reported to CDC. In 2012, there were 4 confirmed outbreaks and 1 suspected outbreak of listeriosis in the United States.[5] The largest listeriosis outbreak in U.S. history occurred in 2011, when 147 illnesses, 33 deaths, and 1 miscarriage occurred among residents of 28 states; the outbreak was associated with consumption of cantaloupe from a single farm.[6]
Age
Listeriosis occurs more frequently in neonates and in the elderly.
Gender
Although there is no predominance of listeriosis in nonpregnant women, when compared to men, pregnant women are more prone to develop the infection, especially during the last trimester of pregnancy.
Race
There is no difference among races in the incidence of listeriosis; however, pregnant hispanic women are about 24 times more likely than the general population to get the infection.
Geographical Distribution
Listeriosis has a worldwide distribution.[7]
