    Campylobacter infections, a common cause of diarrhea, show seasonal peaks from June to September. Most cases occur in adults aged 20-30, with symptoms including watery stools and abdominal pain.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Public Health
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Campylobacter infections are a significant cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide.
    • Understanding the epidemiology of Campylobacter infections is crucial for public health interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the incidence and characteristics of Campylobacter infections in a specific geographic area.
    • To identify demographic, seasonal, and clinical features associated with Campylobacter infections.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 1829 fecal specimens examined over one year.
    • Isolation and identification of Campylobacter species.
    • Clinical data review including patient demographics, symptoms, and outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Campylobacter was isolated from 6% (109/1829) of fecal specimens.
    • A marked seasonal variation was observed, with the highest incidence from June to September.
    • The 20-30 age group had the highest incidence (36%); 99% of patients presented with diarrhea, and 9% had bloody stools.

    Conclusions:

    • Campylobacter infections exhibit significant seasonal variation and a clear age predilection.
    • Early identification and management of Campylobacter infections are important, especially in patients with severe symptoms or risk factors.
