Campylobacteriosis, an emerging foodborne illness, is increasingly prevalent globally and in Bangladesh. Prevention involves simple hygienic food handling practices to avoid infection from contaminated animal products and water.
Area of Science:
- Foodborne pathogens
- Microbiology
- Public Health
Background:
- Campylobacteriosis is an infectious, emerging foodborne disease caused by Campylobacter species.
- Its true incidence is unknown globally, but it is not uncommon in Bangladesh.
- Increasing global incidence makes it a significant public health concern.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the prevalence and transmission routes of Campylobacteriosis.
- To emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and prevention strategies.
- To discuss the role of animal sources and contaminated food products in human infection.
Main Methods:
- Review of existing literature on Campylobacteriosis.
- Analysis of transmission pathways from animals to humans.
- Discussion of diagnostic challenges and treatment controversies.
Main Results:
- Animals like poultry and cattle are primary sources of infection.
- Transmission occurs via consumption of contaminated raw milk, undercooked meat, and water.
- Under-reporting is common due to varied clinical features and limited lab facilities.
Conclusions:
- Campylobacteriosis is a significant foodborne disease with widespread transmission routes.
- Effective prevention relies on hygienic food handling practices.
- Early diagnosis and public awareness are crucial for managing this infection.

Gastritis-I: Introduction and Types
Acute gastritis presents as a sudden inflammation triggered by various stressors to the stomach lining, such as exposure to corrosive agents, local irritants like aspirin and other NSAIDs, alcohol consumption, radiation therapy, physical trauma, severe burns, sepsis,...
Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
