To investigate the occurrence of Campylobacter jejuni among other bacterial agents of acute diarrhea.
Over a period of 3 months, 114 specimens of acute diarrhea were collected from patients aged 2-58 years referred to Nemazi Hospital, Shiraz, Iran. The samples were tested for bacterial pathogens causing acute diarrhea.
Of the 114 samples, 40 proved to be positive for bacterial enteric pathogens: C. jejuni 11 (9.6%), Salmonella spp.18 (15.8%) and Shigella spp. 11 (9.6%). Maximum prevalence of C. jejuni was observed in patients aged 11-15 years. Significantly more females than males were infected with all diarrheal agents (p <0.05).
This study confirmed the presence of C. jejuni as a significant cause of gastroenteritis in Shiraz, Southwest Iran.
调查空肠弯曲菌在其他急性腹泻细菌病原体中的发生率。
在3个月的时间里，从伊朗设拉子内马齐医院转诊的2至58岁患者中收集了114份急性腹泻标本。对这些样本进行了导致急性腹泻的细菌病原体检测。
在114份样本中，40份被证明对肠道细菌病原体呈阳性：空肠弯曲菌11份（9.6%），沙门氏菌属18份（15.8%），志贺氏菌属11份（9.6%）。空肠弯曲菌在11至15岁患者中的患病率最高。所有腹泻病原体感染的女性明显多于男性（p<0.05）。
本研究证实空肠弯曲菌是伊朗西南部设拉子地区肠胃炎的一个重要病因。
