  • Possible complications of campylobacteriosis include Guillain-Barré syndrome and reactive arthritis. (wikipedia.org)
  • There are numerous medical complications associated with Campylobacter infection, many of which have a worse prognosis than the acute infection itself. (marlerclark.com)
  • However, infections with C. jejuni can lead to severe complications like the Guillain-Barré syndrome, a paralyzing neuropathological disease [ 7 , 8 ]. (biomedcentral.com)

  • We will also genotype a subset of C. jejuni isolates from human cases to assess the magnitude of impact on public health by broilers, and further perform a time series analysis to evaluate the temporal association. (umbraco.io)
  • Hypoacylated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from C. jejuni induces moderate TLR4-mediated inflammatory response in macrophages and such LPS bioactivity may eventually result in the failure of local and systemic bacterial clearance in patients. (wikipedia.org)
