Campylobacteriosis:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Signs and symptoms usually develop 2 to 4 days after exposure to Campylobacter. The patient's history typically reveals consumption of contaminated food or water, followed by an acute onset of mild or severe diarrhea. There may also be a history of recent close contact with a person experiencing diarrhea.
On examination, the patient may complain of cramping, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Fever may be present, and there may be traces of blood in the stool. Complications associated with campylobacteriosis include bacteremia; severe dehydration and electrolyte disturbances; Guillain-Barré syndrome; and Reiter’s syndrome. Patients with campylobacteriosis who are immunocompromised are more susceptible to sepsis, endocarditis, meningitis, and thrombophlebitis because of the spread of the bacteria into the bloodstream.

Escherichia coli and other Enterobacteriaceae infections:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Effects of noninvasive diarrhea depend on the causative toxin but may include the abrupt onset of watery diarrhea with cramping abdominal pain and, in severe illness, acidosis. Invasive infection produces chills, abdominal cramps, and diarrheal stools containing blood and pus.
Infantile diarrhea from an E. coli infection is usually noninvasive; it begins with loose, watery stools that change from yellow to green and contain little mucus or blood. Vomiting, listlessness, irritability, and anorexia commonly precede diarrhea. This condition can progress to fever, severe dehydration, acidosis, and shock. Bloody diarrhea may occur from infection with E. coli 0157:H7, which has also been associated with hemolytic uremic syndrome in children.
