An outbreak of Campylobacter enteritis occurred in 1982 among 11 of 15 members and friends of an extended family gathering in Colorado. Median onset for illness, characterized by diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fever and headache, was four days after the party. Illness was associated with eating undercooked chicken. Two ill persons had stool specimens positive for C. jejuni. Eight of ten ill persons tested had Immunoglobulin-M-specific indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) titers to C. jejuni greater than or equal to 32. IFA titers to C. jejuni peaked within three weeks of exposure and decreased to control levels within three months after exposure. Inadequate cooking of poultry may increase the risk of these infections.
1982年,科罗拉多州一个大家庭聚会,15名成员及朋友中有11人爆发了空肠弯曲菌肠炎。发病的中位时间,即表现为腹泻、腹部绞痛、发热和头痛的症状,是在聚会后四天。发病与食用未煮熟的鸡肉有关。两名患病者的粪便样本检测为空肠弯曲菌阳性。接受检测的10名患病者中有8人针对空肠弯曲菌的免疫球蛋白M特异性间接荧光抗体(IFA)滴度大于或等于32。针对空肠弯曲菌的IFA滴度在接触后三周内达到峰值,并在接触后三个月内降至对照水平。家禽烹饪不当可能会增加这些感染的风险。
