OBJECTIVES
Campylobacteriosis is not notifiable in NSW and the number of cases of Campylobacter disease is thus not well described.
METHODS
De-identified campylobacteriosis records for 2004-2007 were requested from laboratories in the Hunter region of NSW. Based on notifying laboratory, a Salmonella notification weighting was applied to laboratory-confirmed campylobacteriosis cases to provide an overall estimate of Campylobacter disease in the area.
RESULTS
The estimated median of the annual number of laboratory-confirmed campylobacteriosis cases was 788 (range 700-1022). The ratio of estimated Campylobacter cases to Salmonella notifications was 5.5 : 1.
CONCLUSION
Campylobacter infection causes considerable disease in the Hunter, and likely in NSW. Regular review of Campylobacter laboratory results may be valuable.
目的
新南威尔士州（NSW）未要求对弯曲杆菌病进行通报，因此弯曲杆菌病的病例数没有得到很好的描述。
方法
从新南威尔士州猎人地区的实验室获取了2004年至2007年已去除身份信息的弯曲杆菌病记录。根据通报实验室的情况，对实验室确诊的弯曲杆菌病病例应用沙门氏菌通报权重，以提供该地区弯曲杆菌病的总体估计数。
结果
实验室确诊的弯曲杆菌病病例年数估计中位数为788例（范围700 - 1022例）。估计的弯曲杆菌病例数与沙门氏菌通报数之比为5.5 : 1。
结论
弯曲杆菌感染在猎人地区以及可能在新南威尔士州导致了相当多的疾病。定期审查弯曲杆菌实验室结果可能很有价值。
