The disease and economic burden of notified and underestimated Campylobacter enteritis cases and associated sequelae in Germany
The results suggest a substantial burden due to CE, both in terms of DALY and costs, in Germany. Especially the high number of underestimated cases and associated sequelae contribute to the health and economic burden - although some remaining uncertainties cannot be ruled out. By using age-specific multipliers to determine the underestimated cases, age-related differences in DALY and cost of illness can be accounted for, thereby preventing an overestimation of the total burden.
