Campylobacter jejuni is the most common enteric pathogen isolated from university and college students in the United States. During the fall and winter quarters of the 1983-1984 academic year, the authors conducted a case-control study at the University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, to identify risk factors for C. jejuni enteritis. Students with diarrhea whose cultures yielded C. jejuni were compared with controls matched by age, sex, and residence. A total of 45 case-control pairs were interviewed about exposures during the week before the case's onset of illness. The infections occurred sporadically and were caused by a wide variety of C. jejuni serotypes. Three risk factors were identified: eating fully cooked chicken, eating chicken reported to be raw or undercooked, and contact with a cat or kitten. No case reported drinking raw milk. No significant association was found between illness and the places where chicken meals were prepared or the specific manner in which chicken was cooked. Chicken may be the principal vehicle of transmission for sporadic Campylobacter enteritis among college students.
空肠弯曲菌是美国从大学生中分离出的最常见的肠道病原体。在1983 - 1984学年的秋冬学期，作者在佐治亚大学雅典分校进行了一项病例对照研究，以确定空肠弯曲菌肠炎的危险因素。将腹泻且培养出空肠弯曲菌的学生与按年龄、性别和居住地匹配的对照组进行比较。共对45对病例对照者进行了访谈，询问病例发病前一周的暴露情况。感染呈散发性，由多种空肠弯曲菌血清型引起。确定了三个危险因素：食用完全煮熟的鸡肉、食用据报道为生的或未煮熟的鸡肉以及接触猫或小猫。没有病例报告饮用生牛奶。未发现疾病与鸡肉烹饪地点或鸡肉烹饪的具体方式之间存在显著关联。鸡肉可能是大学生散发性弯曲菌肠炎的主要传播媒介。
