    Abstract:
    The prevalence of Campylobacter jejuni diarrhea was investigated among 155 children suffering from acute diarrheal illness. C. jejuni was isolated from fecal specimens of 16 (10.3%) of the patients and 2 (4.7%) of the controls (p0.05). 13 of the positive isolations were from patients less than 3 years of age. When compared to diarrheal patients without C. jejuni, patients with C. jejuni isolations more frequently had diarrhea for longer than 7 days, had fever, and had mucoid stools (p0.05). These data suggest that campylobacter infections occurred frequently during childhood in this region and had distinguishable clinical features.
