“…In addition, there is no strong pattern of seasonality as the infection is hyperendemic. However, although the infection occurs all year round in our region, definite peaks of infection in the winter months have been described [17,26]. Additionally, the frequent occurrence of bloody mucoid diarrhoea with leucocytes in the stool, which is similar to clinical presentations in developed countries, has been reported [17,18,21].…”

“…In a recent report that describes Campylobacter infection in 96 patients in Bahrain, children under the age of three years were the most vulnerable population as 69% (66/96) of the patients were in this age group [20]. Few reports of Campylobacter infection in the neonatal age group have been documented, and this includes six cases of neonatal Campylobacter enterocolitis identified over a five-month period in a hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia [26]. In addition, four cases of diarrhoea due to Campylobacter lari occurring in children under the age of three years has been reported from the region [27].…”

Diarrhoea illnesses constitute a common cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In recent years, Campylobacter spp. has been recognized as the leading cause of bacterial enteritis in both developed and developing countries. The biology of Campylobacters as well as the mechanism by which they cause disease is yet to be fully explained. In addition, non-availability of fast and reliable diagnostic methodology and the growing trend of antibiotic resistance continue to pose significant challenges. The absence of national surveillance programs for campylobacteriosis, particularly in developing countries, makes it difficult to give an accurate picture of the true infection prevalence and the molecular epidemiology of isolates circulating in the populations, a situation which had hitherto existed in the Arabian Gulf region. However, in recent years, emerging data from studies in the Arabian Gulf region has not only enhanced our understanding of the epidemiology of Campylobacter both in humans and poultry in the region, but has also contributed to the overall understanding of the mechanism of Campylobacter enteritis, antibiotic resistance, and improved diagnostic approaches. In this review, we examine these emerging data from the Arabian Gulf region.

Přítomnost krve ve stolici v novorozeneckém věku může být nevýznamný příznak, nebo může znamenat závažný stav, který vyžaduje rychlou diagnostiku a léčbu. Mezi závažné stavy s tímto symptomem patří novorozenecká kolitida způsobená různými infekčními agens. Autoři prezentují dva případy infekce Campylobacter jejuni u novorozenců. Klíčové je bakteriologické vyšetření výtěru z rekta. I v novorozeneckém věku lze použít makrolidy, délka léčby je obvykle 7-10 dní. Při včasné diagnostice a léčbě může kampylobakterová infekce novorozence proběhnout nekomplikovaně a bez celkové alterace stavu.
