[151945] Miss Melanie Johnson: Almost all group D streptococcal infections in humans are associated with enterococci or `Streptococcus bovis group'. Data received by the Health Protection Agency Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre under a voluntary reporting system are shown in table 1. Table 1: Annual totals for England and Wales _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Number of reports of enterococci isolated Number of reports of `Streptococcus bovis from blood stream group' isolated from blood stream 1998 3,049 160 1999 3,208 173 2000 3,648 161 2001 4,312 196 2002 4,855 215 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Source: Health Protection Agency website: http://www.hpa.org.uk/ infections/topics az/bacteraemia/gram pos.htm Information for hospital episode statistics is shown in table 2. Table 2: Streptococcus group D (ICD10 B95.2) as the cause of diseases classified to other ICD10 chapters--All diagnosis count of episodes.

A finished consultant episode (FCE) is defined as a period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one health care provider. Please note that the figures do not represent the number of patients, as a person may have more than one episode of care within the year. These figures represent a count of all FCEs where the diagnosis was mentioned in any of the 14 (7 prior to 2002-03) diagnosis fields in a HES record. A record is only included once in each count, even if a diagnosis is mentioned in more than one diagnosis field of the record. 2. Figures are grossed for both coverage and missing/invalid clinical data, except for 2001-02 and 2002-03, which are not yet adjusted for shortfalls.
