Abstract

Campylobacter jejuni is the most common enteric pathogen isolated from university and college students in the United States. During the fall and winter quarters of the 1983-1984 academic year, the authors conducted a case-control study at the University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, to identify risk factors for C. jejuni enteritis. Students with diarrhea whose cultures yielded C. jejuni were compared with controls matched by age, sex, and residence. A total of 45 case-control pairs were interviewed about exposures during the week before the case's onset of illness. The infections occurred sporadically and were caused by a wide variety of C. jejuni serotypes. Three risk factors were identified: eating fully cooked chicken, eating chicken reported to be raw or undercooked, and contact with a cat or kitten. No case reported drinking raw milk. No significant association was found between illness and the places where chicken meals were prepared or the specific manner in which chicken was cooked. Chicken may be the principal vehicle of transmission for sporadic Campylobacter enteritis among college students.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
