What are the symptoms of campylobacteriosis?

Campylobacter bacteria can sometimes cause food poisoning when swallowing contaminated food or water. Symptoms of campylobacteriosis are generally related to gastrointestinal effects, although some people show no symptoms. Infections may also have long -term effects. The common symptoms of campylobacteriosis include diarrhea, stomach pain and sometimes vomiting. These symptoms are accompanied by varicose pain, fever and sometimes nausea and sometimes diarrhea may contain blood.

Campylobacter causes gastrointestinal disease because the bacteria hold on the intestinal wall, gets into the upper layer of the cells, and then reaches the top layer and into the lower layers. The bacteria uses a flagella, a tail similar to the propeller to move to the intestinal wall and connect there. It also recognizes and moves towards the fabric called Mucin, which is produced by the intestinal wall. Bacteria also produce toxins that can decompose host cells. This cell invasion capability causes symptoms of gastroenteritis along withinflammation and damage to the intestinal wall. Gastrointestinal symptoms retreat after about a week of illness. Some people infected with bacteria show no symptoms of campylobacteriosis at all.

In rare cases, in approximately one of every 1,000 cases of campylobacteriosis, the affected person may develop a disease of nerves called Guillain-Barre syndrome. This disease occurs for several weeks after gastrointestinal symptoms of campylobacteriis disappear. The immunit system of affected people mistakenly attacks the nerves of the body and causes paralysis, which may take weeks in intensive care for reversal.

arthritis is another rare complication of campalicbacteriosis. People who have immune systemms can also show signs of blood poisoning such as fever. Although these complications and symptoms are rare, campylobacteriosis is one of the most common causes of food poisoning.

symptoms of campylobacteriosis such asDiarrhea may also be caused by many other infectious organisms, so the presence of these symptoms does not mean that Campylobacter is the cause of the disease. Cultivating bacteria from stool samples is the best way to identify the body that caused food poisoning. Most cases of campylobacteriosis are mild enough to not guarantee medical intervention.
