In January 1982, 11 states (Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin) began reporting monthly their isolations of Campylobacter to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. The information reported included the species of Campylobacter organisms, the week of the report, the site from which the organism was isolated, and the age and sex of the infected person. A total of 3,966 isolates were reported in 1982, of which 3,900 were Campylobacter jejuni. Campylobacter isolations exceeded Salmonella in two of the three states (Oregon and Wisconsin) that require reporting. The eight other states with lower rates of isolation had variable reporting practices. Rates of Campylobacter isolations were highest in June through August. Age-specific rates of Campylobacter infections peaked in the 1- to 2-year and 20- to 29-year age groups. Fifty-five percent of all isolates were from male patients. Campylobacter infections seem to be at least as common as Salmonella infections in states in which the reporting practices are comparable.
1982年1月，11个州（亚拉巴马州、亚利桑那州、佐治亚州、伊利诺伊州、明尼苏达州、新墨西哥州、俄勒冈州、得克萨斯州、佛蒙特州、华盛顿州和威斯康星州）开始每月向亚特兰大的疾病控制中心报告弯曲杆菌的分离情况。报告的信息包括弯曲杆菌菌种、报告周次、分离出该菌的部位以及感染者的年龄和性别。1982年共报告了3966株分离菌，其中3900株为空肠弯曲杆菌。在要求报告的三个州中的两个州（俄勒冈州和威斯康星州），弯曲杆菌的分离数超过了沙门氏菌。其他八个分离率较低的州报告做法各不相同。弯曲杆菌的分离率在6月至8月最高。弯曲杆菌感染的年龄别发病率在1至2岁和20至29岁年龄组达到峰值。所有分离菌中有55%来自男性患者。在报告做法相当的州，弯曲杆菌感染似乎至少与沙门氏菌感染一样常见。
