ABSTRACT
One hundred and fifty two stool samples from patients belonging to the pediatric age group clinically diagnosed as acute diarrhea/dysentery were processed for thermophilic campylobacters. C. jejuni was isolated from 9 samples (5.9%). Five of the C. jejuni isolates were from children who presented with bloody diarrhea and 4 were from those who had watery diarrhoea. Though the pathogenic role of C. jejuni in these cases is not proved, this study indicates the prevalence of the organism in Trivandrum district.
