Campylobacter infections can lead to Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a servere illness that can lead to paralysis that may be permanent. GBS patients can die from complications such as respiratory distress syndrome and heart attack. Our attorneys represent GBS victims nationwide.

Testing for Campylobacter Infection

To protect your legal rights, it is important that you get diagnosed with Campyloacter and that further testing is done to get a genetic fingerprint of the Campylobacter serotype that made you sick. This is done with Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE).

A clinical diagnosis of a Campylobacter infection 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.
