    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Campylobacter jejuni is a common cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide.
    • Diarrhea is a significant public health concern, particularly in certain patient populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the prevalence of Campylobacter jejuni in patients with suspected infectious diarrhea.
    • To identify the clinical symptoms associated with Campylobacter jejuni infection.

    Main Methods:

    • Faecal specimens were collected from patients with suspected infectious diarrhea over a three-month period.
    • Coproculture techniques were used to isolate and identify Campylobacter jejuni.
    • Specimens from healthy individuals served as a control group.

    Main Results:

    • Campylobacter jejuni was isolated from 13 of 224 patients (5.8%) with suspected infectious diarrhea.
    • No Campylobacter jejuni was isolated from 530 asymptomatic or healthy individuals.
    • The primary symptoms observed were diarrhea and cramping abdominal pain, typically lasting 2-3 days.

    Conclusions:

    • Campylobacter jejuni is a significant causative agent of infectious diarrhea in the studied population.
    • Clinical laboratories should implement routine testing for Campylobacter jejuni in patients presenting with diarrheal illness.
    • Early identification and diagnosis are crucial for managing Campylobacter jejuni infections.
