An analysis of imported infections over a 5-year period at a teaching hospital in the United Kingdom	2003-11-30		.txt	text/plain	1881	107	48	A 5-year analysis of cases seen in a large teaching and district general hospital in the Eastern Region of the UK was performed using ward records correlated with Hospital coding data and Hospital Episode Statistics from the Department of Health. The analysis includes all imported infections seen on the infectious diseases ward as recorded in the ward data book, at Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge, UK over a 5-year period 1998 -2002. The number of imported infections necessitating hospital admission is surprisingly high, yet it is likely that this is 'the tip of an iceberg' with many cases treated by general practitioners or non-specialist hospital physicians in this and other local hospitals and some not seeking medical attention. In conclusion, this local analysis illustrates the surprising number and diversity of imported infections seen at a hospital away from major ports of entry despite which it largely mirrors the national situation.	./cache/cord-288505-v4dbswyk.txt	./txt/cord-288505-v4dbswyk.txt
