Campylobacter infections

The age and sex distributions of Campylobacter infections are unique among bacterial enteric pathogens. In developed countries, there are two age peaks younger than 1 year of age and 15 to 44 years of age. There is a mild male predominance among infected persons. The reason for this distinct age and sex distribution remains unknown. The epidemiology of Campylobacter infections is quite different in developing countries Campylobacter diarrhea is primarily a pediatric disease in developing countries. [Pg.1120]

Erythromycin is considered the optimal drug for treatment of Campylobacter infections. The rate of resistance of Campylobacter to erythromycin remains low. Other advantages of this drug include ease of administration, low cost, lack of major toxicity, and narrow spectrum of activity.14 The recommended dosage for adults is 250 mg orally four times daily or 500 mg orally twice daily for 5 to 7 days. For very ill patients, treatment with gentamicin, imipenem, cefotaxime, or chloramphenicol is indicated, but susceptibility tests should be performed. [Pg.1121]

Campylobacter species are most commonly responsible for outbreaks of bacterial gastroenteritis in developed countries. The majority of die gastrointestinal Campylobacter infections do not require antibiotic treatment and are selflimiting. Where treatment is required, erythromycin is usually recommended. However, fluoroquinolones are often also used pending laboratory results, because they can cover additional bacterial pathogens and are better tolerated than erythromycin. [Pg.262]

In the last 15 years, several important diseases of unknown cause have turned out to be complicatioas of foodborne infections. For example, we now know that the Guillain-Barre. syndrome can be caused by Campylobacter infection, and that the most common cause of acute kidney failure in children, hemolytic uremic syndrome, is cau.sed by infection with E. coli 0157 H7 and related bacteria. In the future, other diseases whose origins are currently unknown may turn out be related to foodborne infections. [Pg.122]

Campylobacter infections can sometimes be followed by Guillain-Barr4 syndrome or reactive arthritis. [Pg.203]

Stool culture may differentiate Salmonella, Shigella, and Campylobacter infections. However, culture for E coli 0157 H7 must be specifically requested. An ELISA test can detect Nonvalk vims in stools. [Pg.203]
