The clinical burden of Campylobacter infection in Australia

弯曲杆菌是澳大利亚胃肠炎的主要原因，但人们对此认识较少。这项研究试图通过检查住院(包括入院的风险因素)并估计感染后的死亡率和长期健康问题，更好地量化和描述弯曲杆菌感染造成的严重健康后果。该项目还将审查全科医生在管理病例方面发挥的作用，特别是他们使用抗生素的情况。

Campylobacter is a leading but less well recognised cause of gastroenteritis in Australia. This research seeks to better quantify and describe serious health outcomes resulting from Campylobacter infections by examining hospitalisations (including risk factors for admission) and estimating rates of death and long-term health problems following infection. The project will also examine the role GPs play in managing cases, particularly their use of antibiotics.
