MEMO FOR RECORD					25 Jan 91
 
 SUBJECT: Suspected Foadborne Illness, 1701 PAREFW
 TO; Brig Gen Caruana
 
 1. As of 0800 on  Jan 25, 648 cases of gastroenteritis were
 reported by the hospital supporting the 1701 PAREFW. There were
 only 16 new patients in the past 4 hours. The total count
 increased more than 16 because a review of records revealed
 additional cases. Fifty-four patients were admitted (plus 1 for
 the day). Only 3 remain in the hospital. The number of DNIFs
 increased from 7 to 8. This increase is also the result of the
 records review. The eighth DNIF occurred on 23 Jan 91.
 
 2. Preliminary stool culture results were negative. A host
 nation laboratory was used, so definitive results are not expected
 until Saturday.
