Raw milk consumption as a probable cause of two outbreaks of campylobacter infection.
Outbreaks of gastro-intestinal illness among groups of children using two different camp sites are described. Fifty of the children in one situation and thirty-eight at the second site were ill, with campylobacter being isolated in 50 children. Circumstantial evidence implicates raw milk as the cause of the illness.
