In the middle of June 1980 an explosive outbreak of campylobacter enteritis occurred among the staff of a poultry abattoir in southern Sweden. In all 37 cases of acute gastroenteritis originating from the abattoir were reported and Campylobacter jejuni was isolated from the stools in 24 of them. When the outbreak occurred, a large proportion of the ordinary staff had been replaced by inexperienced teenagers working during their holidays. A specially big slaughter had also taken place the same week as these inexperienced workers had started. The holiday workers contracted the disease to a greater extent (71%) than the ordinary staff (29%). An overall screening revealed 5 asymptomatic carriers among the ordinary staff. In 3 cases secondary spread was found.
1980年6月中旬，瑞典南部一家家禽屠宰场的工作人员中爆发了一场严重的弯曲杆菌肠炎疫情。该屠宰场共报告了37例急性肠胃炎病例，其中24例患者的粪便中分离出了空肠弯曲菌。疫情爆发时，大部分普通员工已被假期打工的缺乏经验的青少年所取代。就在这些缺乏经验的工人开始工作的同一周，还进行了一次特别大规模的屠宰。假期打工者感染该病的比例（71%）高于普通员工（29%）。全面筛查发现普通员工中有5名无症状携带者。发现3例出现了二次传播。
