“…In our study isolation of Salmonella, Shigella and Vibrio sp was 3.6, 1.8, and 4.5 per cent respectively which is in agreement with other studies [8,10,14,18,22,25,27], In an outbreak of cholera in Calcutta [17], C. jejuni was isolated in 10 out of 74 diarrhoea cases. Out of these 10 cases, 2 revealed C. jejuni as the sole pathogen and 8 cases were associated with V. cholerae, V. parahaemolytics, A. hydrophilia or A. díspar.…”

“…Pearson et al [8] documented isolation in 4.2 per cent, Tanner and Bullin [9] from Canada in 5.8 per cent cases and 1 strain of C. jejuni was isolated in 120 samples of stool from healthy controls. Pia et al [10] reported isolation of C. jejuni in 4.3 per cent children in Canada and none from 176 healthy controls. Martin et al [4] in their study of patients of all age groups with diarrhoea reported 5 per cent isolation rate of C. jejuni however they could not isolate C. jejuni from stools obtained from healthy controls.…”

This study was carricd out to isolate and identify Campylobacter jejuni from stool samples of patients suffering from diarrhoea. The study spanned a two-year period and C. jejuni was isolated in 10 (4.5%) out of 220 patients of diarrhoea] disorders. In samples of stool collected from 50 healthy individuals, C. jejuni was isolated in one (2%) case. Further, to isolate other enteropathogens alongwitli C. jejuni, procedures were undertaken simultaneously to identify Salmonella, Shigella and Vibrio cltolerae infection. Salmonella sp was isolated in 8 (3.6%), Shigella sp in 4 (1.8%) and Vibrio cholerae in 10 (4.5%) cases out of 220 faecal cultures studied. In one stool specimen Shigella flexneri was isolated alongwith C. jejuni.

“…The severe cases described from hospital practice (Lambert et al 1979;Pai et al 1979;Karmali & Fleming, 1979), therefore show only a small p6rtion of the spectrum of illness caused by these organisms.…”

“…Clinical studies have been made on patients in hospital (Lambert et al 1979;Pai et al 1979;Karmali & Fleming, 1979), but studies in defined populations have not been reported. We describe here a study of acute diarrhoeal disease in a defined general practice population under the clinical care of a single observer.…”

SUMMARYThe incidence and clinical features of campylobacter enteritis were studied in a defined general practice population over a period of three years. Specimens of faeces were cultured from a representative sample of patients suffering from acute enteritis. Of 168 patients submitting a specimen to the laboratory 34 (20-2 %) were positive for thermophilic Campylobacter species. The projected campylobacter infection rate varied from 5-4 % per annum in infancy to 0 3 % per annum in the 5-to 14-year-olds with a mean of I -I % per annum for the whole study population.During the same period campylobacters were isolated from 484 (14-9 %) of 3250 patients suffering from acute enteritis whose general practitioners had sent faecal specimens to the laboratory, confirming the importance of this organism in the aetiology of acute enteritis in the community.

“…Since then it has been associated with human enteritis by King (1962) and it is currently a confirmed important bacterial cause of diarrhoea in some parts of the world (Dekeyser et al 1972;Steele & McDermott, 1978;Linquest, 1979;Pai et al 1979 andButzler, 1973 reached up to 33°C; the remaining samples were examined during the wet season. All samples from patients without diarrhoea were examined during the dry season.…”

SUMMARYA total of 495 diarrhoea and non-diarrhoea patients whose ages ranged between 5 and 39 years were examined for the presence of Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella and Shigella species. About 12 % of the specimens from diarrhoea patients were positive for Campylobacter jejuni compared with 6 % and 10 % for Salmonella and Shigella species. In contrast 2 %, 0 % and 1 % of the samples from non-diarrhoea patients were positive for Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella and Shigella species respectively.Most (62 %0) of the Campylobacter jejuni from diarrhoea patients were isolated from children under the age of 10 years. This compared with 26 % and 37 % for Salmonella and Shigella species in this age group. The frequency of isolation of Campylobacter jejuni in diarrhoea patients was highest during the dry months of the year. This study demonstrates the importance of Campylobacter jejuni as a major bacterial cause of diarrhoea in this part of the world.
