Campylobacter jejuni was isolated on coproculture from 13 of 224 patients with suspected infectious diarrhoea whose faecal specimens were examined during a three-month period. These organisms were not isolated from 530 specimens received from asymptomatic and healthy individuals. Diarrhoea and cramping abdominal pain generally lasting two to three days were the major symptoms, though occasional patients had a more prolonged illness. Ingestion of campylobacter resulted in enteric infection with increasing numbers of campylobacter in the stool. Clinical laboratories should attempt to isolate these organisms from patients with diarrhoea.
在为期三个月的时间里，对224例疑似感染性腹泻患者的粪便标本进行了检查，通过共培养从其中13例患者中分离出了空肠弯曲菌。从530例无症状健康个体的标本中未分离出这些微生物。腹泻和腹部绞痛通常持续两到三天是主要症状，不过偶尔有患者病程更长。摄入弯曲菌会导致肠道感染，粪便中的弯曲菌数量会增加。临床实验室应尝试从腹泻患者中分离出这些微生物。
