Campylobacter jejuni is an unusual cause of travelers' diarrhea acquired in Mexico, but previous studies have relied only on stool culture for diagnosis. We conducted a cohort study to determine if antibody seroconversion to C jejuni would better reflect the occurrence of infection acquired in Mexico. Serum IgG, IgA, and IgM antibodies to Campylobacter seroconverted in only 2 of 353 participants (0.6%). These data further support that C jejuni infection is an unusual cause of travelers' diarrhea in US visitors to Mexico.
空肠弯曲菌是一种在墨西哥感染的旅行者腹泻的罕见病因,但以前的研究仅依赖粪便培养进行诊断。我们进行了一项队列研究,以确定针对空肠弯曲菌的抗体血清转化是否能更好地反映在墨西哥获得的感染发生情况。在 353 名参与者中,仅有 2 人(0.6%)血清 IgG、IgA 和 IgM 抗体对空肠弯曲菌发生血清转化。这些数据进一步支持空肠弯曲菌感染是美国赴墨西哥旅行者腹泻的罕见病因。
