Campylobacter jejuni enteritis.
We report the development of Campylobacter jejuni enteritis in a patient with preexisting humoral and cellular immune recognition of C. jejuni antigens. This is one of few studies in which the immunologic status of a person with regard to C. jejuni before and after C. jejuni infection is directly compared, and it is the only study of which we are aware that includes measurements of cellular imm...

Campylobacteriosis in an infectious disease of animals that is transmissable to man. The aetiological agents are members of the genus Campylobacter, a name compounded from the Greek campylo (,curved') and bacter ('rod').

متن کاملThe pathogenesis of Campylobacter jejuni-mediated enteritis.
Campylobacter jejuni, a gram-negative spiral shaped bacterium, is a frequent cause of gastrointestinal food-borne illness in humans throughout the world. Illness with C. jejuni ranges from mild to severe diarrheal disease. This article focuses on Campylobacter virulence determinants and their potential role in the development of C. jejuni-mediated enteritis. A model is presented that diagrams t...
متن کاملEarly treatment of Campylobacter jejuni enteritis.
The bacteriologic and clinical effects of early antibiotic treatment of Campylobacter jejuni enteritis were studied. Erythromycin rapidly eliminated C. jejuni from stools, whereas trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole did not. Despite its bacteriologic effectiveness, erythromycin did not reduce the duration or severity of diarrhea, abdominal pain, or other symptoms.
متن کاملCampylobacter jejuni enteritis and reactive arthritis.
A further case of reactive arthritis following Campylobacter jejuni enteritis is reported. The interim results of a small prospective study are discussed. It may be desirable to do serological studies for campylobacter infection in the investigation of mono- or polyarthritis of acute onset.
