Testing for Campylobacter Infection
A clinical diagnosis of a Campylobacter infection for you or someone in your family requires laboratory testing of a stool sample. Because Campylobacter only survives and proliferates under specific conditions, isolating the organism from a stool sample is difficult, but most labs are able to test for it.
Usually a working diagnosis is based on the symptoms of diarrheal illness and the time of onset, as well as the length of the illness. The symptoms most doctors look for are diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fever and a headache lasting for about a week.
In rare cases, Campylobacter can cause Guillain-Barré syndrome, a servere illness that can lead to paralysis and death.
