    Abstract:
    Epidemiological studies on campylobacter jejuni infection in children were carried out in Chengdu during December 1987 to October 1989. Detection rate of campylobacter in 1,092 children with diarrhea was 11.36%, with the highest in children aged 1-2 and the lowest in babies within six months. Campylobacter jejuni could be detected in young children with acute diarrhea all the year round, with a higher detection rate in the spring and summer and lower in the autumn and winter. Campylobacter jejuni could be detected in 5.09% of healthy children, with a significant difference between kindergartens due to their living conditions. Use of spectrum of drug-resistance and plasmid analysis in children of nurseries and kindergartens to study campylobacter infection suggested campylobacter jejuni infection in children could be caused by a lot of distant-associated strains with genetic homogeneity.
