Campylobacteriosis
Campylobacteriosis is one of the most common causes of diarrheal illness in the United States. Illness usually occurs two to five days after exposure to Campylobacter and lasts about a week. The illness is usually mild and many people with campylobacteriosis show no symptoms at all. Though rare, in persons with weakened immune systems, the bacteria can spread to the bloodstream and cause serious infection.
Campylobacteriosis Symptoms
Symptoms of campylobacteriosis include diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever. The diarrhea may be bloody and may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. People with diarrhea, especially children in day care and people who handle food, should not go to school, day care or work until 48 hours after their diarrhea ends. Almost all persons infected with Campylobacter recover completely.
