  1. Frequency of reported symptoms (as percentages) is listed for different serotypes. Total number of serotypes reported 2001-2008: O:3, n = 34,576; O:9, n = 2,277; O:5,27, n = 312; O:8, n = 62; other serotypes, n = 1,701. For serotypes other than O:3, O:9, O:5,27 and O:8, serotype specification was not available from the surveillance data ("other" serotypes). Percentages add up to > 100% because typically more than one symptom per notified case was reported.
