Abstract: | Abstract In a prospective study of acute diarrheal illness among college students, during one academic year, the incidence of Campylobacter enteritis was 5.57 per 1,000. Approximately 17% of all patients with acute diarrheal illness had Campylobacter enteritis. Campylobacter enteritis is briefly discussed. The value of the stool wet-mount examination is emphasized. It can serve as a guide to which stools to culture and often can lead to a presumptive diagnosis of Campylobacter enteritis. Student health center labs are urged to perform stool wet-mount exams and to provide cultures for isolating the Campylobacter organism. |
