A total of 495 diarrhoea and non-diarrhoea patients whose ages ranged between 5 and 39 years were examined for the presence of Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella and Shigella species. About 12% of the specimens from diarrhoea patients were positive for Campylobacter jejuni compared with 6% and 10% for Salmonella and Shigella species. In contrast 2%, 0% and 1% of the samples from non-diarrhoea patients were positive for Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella and Shigella species respectively. Most (62%) of the Campylobacter jejuni from diarrhoea patients were isolated from children under the age of 10 years. This compared with 26% and 37% for Salmonella and Shigella species in this age group. The frequency of isolation of Campylobacter jejuni in diarrhoea patients was highest during the dry months of the year. This study demonstrates the importance of Campylobacter jejuni as a major bacterial cause of diarrhoea in this part of the world.
对495名年龄在5至39岁之间的腹泻和非腹泻患者进行了空肠弯曲菌、沙门氏菌和志贺氏菌属检测。腹泻患者样本中约12%为空肠弯曲菌阳性,沙门氏菌和志贺氏菌属阳性率分别为6%和10%。相比之下,非腹泻患者样本中,空肠弯曲菌、沙门氏菌和志贺氏菌属阳性率分别为2%、0%和1%。腹泻患者中分离出的空肠弯曲菌大多(62%)来自10岁以下儿童。该年龄组中沙门氏菌和志贺氏菌属的这一比例分别为26%和37%。腹泻患者中空肠弯曲菌的分离频率在一年中的旱季最高。本研究证明了空肠弯曲菌作为世界该地区腹泻主要细菌病因的重要性。
