Acute gastroenteritis is a major cause of hospital admission with attendant morbidity and occasional mortality. Campylobacter jejuni recently has been recognized as a common cause of acute bacterial gastroenteritis in children and adults. Its frequency of isolation is comparable to and in many studies exceeds that of Salmonella isolations from diarrheal stools of hospitalized patients. Medical workers in many parts of the world confirmed that Campylobacter jejuni was found more commonly in feces in diarrheic than in non-diarrheic people. The feces is loose to watery and commonly contains blood and leukocytes. Although, Campylobacter jejuni has been isolated from feces and gallbladder of healthy and diarrheic animals, until now, to our knowledge, there is no report on the isolation of the microorganism from healthy or diarrheic subjects in Turkey. This paper reports three human infections found to have Campylobacter jejuni in their stools as part of our ongoing investigation of the incidence of diarrheal disease due to this organism.
急性肠胃炎是导致患者住院的主要原因，常伴有发病情况，偶尔还会导致死亡。空肠弯曲菌最近已被确认为儿童和成人急性细菌性肠胃炎的常见病因。其分离频率与从住院患者腹泻粪便中分离出的沙门氏菌相当，并且在许多研究中超过了沙门氏菌的分离频率。世界许多地区的医务人员证实，空肠弯曲菌在腹泻人群的粪便中比在非腹泻人群中更常见。粪便呈稀便至水样，通常含有血液和白细胞。尽管空肠弯曲菌已从健康和腹泻动物的粪便及胆囊中分离出来，但据我们所知，迄今为止，土耳其尚未有关于从健康或腹泻受试者中分离出该微生物的报告。本文报告了在我们正在进行的关于由该生物体引起的腹泻病发病率调查中发现的三例粪便中含有空肠弯曲菌的人类感染病例。
