In 33 cases of Campylobacter jejuni septicemia, the disease was more common at the extremes of age: infants made up a third of the reported cases while 24% of patients were older than 50 years. Fever was noted in more than 80% of patients and chills in about a fourth. Enteritis was present in 70% of cases, and the gastrointestinal tract was the principal source of septicemia. Half of the patients did not have significant underlying disease but were at extremes of age, which may reflect relative host impairment. Mortality (25%) owing to C jejuni septicemia occurs mostly in compromised hosts.
在33例空肠弯曲菌败血症病例中，该病在年龄两端更为常见：婴儿占报告病例的三分之一，而24%的患者年龄超过50岁。超过80%的患者有发热症状，约四分之一的患者有寒战。70%的病例存在肠炎，胃肠道是败血症的主要来源。一半的患者没有明显的基础疾病，但处于年龄两端，这可能反映了相对的宿主损害。空肠弯曲菌败血症导致的死亡率（25%）大多发生在身体虚弱的宿主中。
