Abstract

During 1980 out of 3,680 stool specimens of children aged up to 6 years with diarrhea routinely screened for enteropathogenic bacteria, 72 cases of Campylobacter fetus ssp. jejuni infection were found. They were more common during the summer months, in children aged less than 4 years, and in boys rather than in girls (2, 9:1). The most common symptoms were watery, mucus, and haemorrhagic diarrhea, fever, vomiting and abdominal pain. All strains exhibited nearly identical sensitivity patterns for the chemotherapeutics tested.
