Much higher cost estimates for the two pathogens were offered in March by the Produce Safety Project, a group at Georgetown University that works for mandatory safety standards for produce. The group estimated the annual cost of Salmonella cases at $14.6 billion and the cost of E coli O157 cases at $993 million. The group came up with an overall estimate of almost $152 billion a year for all foodborne diseases.
Among the results: Cost per day for hospital charges averaged $3,949 in the U.S., followed by Chile at $1,552. The average hospital cost for a U.S. patientâs total stay was $15,734; Germany was next at $5,004. For appendectomies, the total facility and physician costs averaged $13,003 in the U.S., followed by Switzerland at $5,840. A physician fee for a routine office visit averaged $89 in the U.S., also followed by Switzerland, at $64.
