In order to investigate the prevalence of Salmonella spp. from 1992 to 1997 in Inchon, 173 strains of Salmonella spp. were isolated from patients with diarrhea and analyzed them epidemiologically. The results obtained were as follows; 1. The yearly isolation rates were 34.68% (60 strains) in 1996, 20.80%(36 strains) in 1994, 18.50%(32strains) in 1997, 10.40%(18 strains) in 1992 and 9.83%(17 strains) in 1995 and 5.78%(10 strains) in 1993, in order. 2. The isolation rates based on specimen were 84.97%(147 strains) from feces, 14.45%(25 strains) from blood and 0.58%(1 strain) from pus. 3. The highest isolation rate based on age group was at twenties(25.43%) and four-ties(19.65%), fifties(19.08%), teens(15.03%) and thirties(10.98%), in order. 4. Based on the regional distribution, Nam-gu showed the highest isolation rate (20.80%) and followed by Namdong-gu(20.23%), Dong-gu(19.65%) and Yeansu-gu(0.58%), in order 5. Seasonally, the highest isolation rate was from May to September during the investigation. 6. The isolation rate in male(58.96%) was higher than that in female(41.04%).
