Enteric campylobacteriosis

Enteric campylobacteriosis is an acute bacterial gastrointestinal infection primarily caused by *Campylobacter jejuni* and, less frequently, *Campylobacter coli* Clinically, it manifests with acute watery or bloody diarrhea, fever, nausea, and cramping abdominal pain that may mimic acute appendicitis While infection can occur across all age groups, young children, older adults, and immunocompromised individuals are at higher risk for severe or prolonged illness and invasive systemic disease

Enteric campylobacteriosis is an acute bacterial gastrointestinal infection primarily caused by *Campylobacter jejuni* and, less frequently, *Campylobacter coli*

It predominantly targets the gastrointestinal tract—specifically the jejunum, ileum, and colon—causing mucosal inflammation, cellular damage, and diffuse exudative enteritis

Clinically, it manifests with acute watery or bloody diarrhea, fever, nausea, and cramping abdominal pain that may mimic acute appendicitis

While infection can occur across all age groups, young children, older adults, and immunocompromised individuals are at higher risk for severe or prolonged illness and invasive systemic disease
