Abstract Diarrhoea, abdominal pain, malaise and fever affected 75 of the 88 conscript soldiers in Utti, Finland after an outdoors infantry drill. Campylobacter jejuni, heat-stable serotype 3/43/59, was isolated from 37 out of 63 men investigated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
Among the 42 patients with campylobacter infection, there were 2 clinical and 6 bacteriologic treatment failures in the ciprofloxacin group and no treatment failures in the azithromycin group (P = .021 for bacteriologic failures). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
As can be seen in figure 2, the effects of treatment show some variability, which indicates heterogeneity between studies. One such factor that differed between studies was the time interval from first symptoms to treatment. [doi.org]
Nevertheless, children with dysentery due to C. jejuni benefit from early treatment with erythromycin. Treatment with antibiotics, therefore, depends on the severity of symptoms. [en.wikipedia.org]
Prognosis
Arthritic course is self-limiting and ranges from one week to several months, and prognosis is excellent. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Outlook (Prognosis) Most people recover in 5 to 8 days. When a person's immune system does not work well, the Campylobacter infection may spread to the heart or brain. [nicklauschildrens.org]
Prognosis Most otherwise healthy adults recover from Campylobacter infection within several days. Occasionally diarrhea may persist for up to 10 days. Complications other than dehydration are very uncommon. [drugs.com]
