| Abstract | : | Background: On October 18, 2023, Bantul District Health Office received notification from the Pleret Public Health Center (PHC) that several employees were sick with diarrhea and abdominal pain. Objective: An epidemiological investigation was carried out to confirm the outbreak, detect additional cases, identify risk factors and causes, and recommend preventive measures. Methods: This study employed active case finding followed by a retrospective cohort study. Individuals who reported diarrhea, stomachache, or malaise after consuming chicken distributed on Monday, October 16, 2023, were considered. Data were obtained through an e-questionnaire and direct interviews with all employees, their families, and food handlers. Food samples were sent to the health laboratory for analysis. Chi-square and multiple binomial regression were used to analyze the data. Results: There were 68 sick individuals among the 140 people interviewed. Most cases occurred in women (52.9%), the 41-50-year age group (26.5%), and PHC employees (64.7%). Diarrhea (95.6%), abdominal pain (70.6%), and malaise (19.1%) were the most prevalent symptoms. The outbreak was identified as a common source, with incubation periods ranging from 1 hour to 20 hours, with an average of 5 hours and 6 minutes. Fried chicken was linked to a higher chance of becoming afflicted in this outbreak (aRR=5.09; 95% CI=1.33-19.47). E. Coli and mold were detected in the laboratory results. Conclusion: This study concludes that there was a foodborne outbreak among PHC employees due to E. coli. Therefore, improving the foodborne disease surveillance system and monitoring household food production is needed to prevent outbreaks. © 2025 The Author(s). Published by Bentham Open.
