| [campylobacter enteritis in western sicily. remarks on 35 cases]. | campylobacter spp is the main cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in the developed countries, resulting mainly from the contamination of poultry and animal products. pathogenesis remains unclear. various clinical features ranging from watery diarrhoea in apyrexia to dysentery in hyperpyrexia may be the result of differences between strains in the expression of different pathogenetic factors. there are many difficulties in isolating the bacteria in question. | 2004 | 15729013 |
