Statistics by Country for Shigellosis
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Shigellosis:
These statistics are calculated extrapolations of various prevalence or incidence rates
against the populations of a particular country or region.
The statistics used for prevalence/incidence of Shigellosis are typically based on US, UK, Canadian or Australian statistics.
This extrapolation calculation is automated and does not take into account any genetic, cultural, environmental, social, racial or other differences
across the various countries and regions for which the extrapolated Shigellosis statistics below refer to.
As such, these extrapolations may be highly inaccurate (especially for developing or third-world countries) and only give a general indication (or even a meaningless indication)
as to the actual prevalence or incidence of Shigellosis in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Shigellosis: The word 'prevalence' of Shigellosis usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Shigellosis at any given time (i.e. people with Shigellosis). The term 'incidence' of Shigellosis means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Shigellosis diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Shigellosis). Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics. |
Incidence (annual) of Shigellosis: 17,521 annual cases of shigellosis notified in USA 1999 (MMWR 1999)
Incidence Rate for Shigellosis: approx 1 in 15,524 or 0.01% or 17,521 people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Incidence Rate for Shigellosis to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above incidence rate for Shigellosis to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these incidence extrapolations for Shigellosis are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual incidence of Shigellosis in any region:
