Campylobacteriosis
What is campylobacteriosis?
It is a diarrheal illness caused by infection with the bacterium
Campylobacter jejuni.
It is the most common cause of bacterial diarrhea in New York State.
Most cases are seen in the summer months and occur as single cases.
Outbreaks are uncommon.
Who gets campylobacteriosis?
Anyone can get
Campylobacter infection.
How is the germ spread?
Campylobacter are generally
spread by consumption of contaminated food or water and, occasionally,
by contact with infected people or animals.
What are the symptoms of campylobacteriosis?
Infection with
Campylobacter
may cause mild or severe diarrhea (which may be bloody), cramping,
abdominal pain and fever. Rarely, some people develop arthritis or the
bacteria may spread to the bloodstream, which can cause a serious
life-threatening infection.
How soon after exposure do symptoms appear?
The symptoms generally appear two to five days after the exposure.
Where are Campylobacter found?
Many animals including swine, cattle, dogs and birds (particularly
poultry) carry the germ in their intestines. These sources in turn may
contaminate meat products (particularly poultry), water supplies, milk
and other items in the food chain.
For how long can a person carry Campylobacter?
Generally, infected people will continue to pass the germ in their
feces for a few days to a week or more. Certain antibiotics may shorten
the carrier phase.
Do infected people need to be isolated or excluded from school or work?
Since the organism is passed in the feces, only people with active
diarrhea who are unable to control their bowel habits (infants and young
children for example) should be isolated. Most infected people may
return to work or school when their stools become formed provided that
they carefully wash their hands after toilet visits. People with
diarrhea should be excluded from childcare, food handling and direct
patient care until their symptoms have resolved.
What is the treatment for campylobacteriosis?
Most people infected with
Campylobacter
will recover on their own. People with campylobacteriosis should drink
extra fluids to prevent dehydration as long as the diarrhea lasts.
Antibiotics are occasionally used to treat severe cases or to shorten
the carrier phase, which may be important for food handlers, children in
daycare and health care workers. Since relapses occasionally occur,
some physicians might treat mild cases with antibiotics to prevent a
recurrence of symptoms.
How can campylobacteriosis be prevented?
- Always handle raw poultry, beef and pork as if they are contaminated:
- Wrap fresh meats in plastic bags at the market to prevent blood from dripping on other foods.
- Refrigerate foods promptly; minimize holding at room temperature.
- Cutting boards and counters used for preparation should be
washed immediately after use to prevent cross contamination with other
foods.
- Avoid eating raw or undercooked meats.
- Ensure that the correct internal cooking temperature is reached, particularly when using a microwave.
- Avoid eating raw eggs or undercooking foods containing raw eggs.
- Avoid consuming raw (unpasteurized) milk or milk products.
- Encourage careful handwashing before and after food preparation.
- Make sure children, particularly those who handle pets, wash their hands carefully.
