During May and June 1992 there was a marked increase in reports of campylobacter infections compared with other years. Several affected patients mentioned they had been drinking milk from bottles previously pecked by birds. A case control study was initiated to investigate whether there was any significant association. It was concluded that drinking milk pecked by birds was associated significantly with subsequent campylobacter infection.
1992年5月和6月期间,弯曲杆菌感染的报告数量与其他年份相比显著增加。几名受影响的患者提到,他们一直在饮用此前被鸟类啄过的奶瓶中的牛奶。于是开展了一项病例对照研究,以调查是否存在任何显著关联。研究得出结论,饮用被鸟类啄过的牛奶与随后的弯曲杆菌感染存在显著关联。
