title: [Clinical and epidemiologic findings in studies of Campylobacter infections].
abstract: During the period between May 1987 and April 1989 from 929 patients hospitalized at the Clinic for Infectious Diseases with acute diarrhoeal disease Campylobacter infection was detected in 10.6%; a bacterial aetiology was confirmed in 29%. The maximum incidence of campylobaterioses was in the summer months, among those affected children aged 1-14 years predominated. Analysis of the course of the disease in children under three years revealed typical high fever and blood in the faeces--in half the patients. Carriership of Campylobaters was short, as a rule 2-3 weeks. In cases reported to the hygiene service in the region contact with animals was reported by half the patients. In particular chickens and smoked meat products were considered a suspect vehicle.
