Campylobacteriosis


Campylobacteriosis in Washington State

CDES receives approximately 900 to 1150 reports of campylobacteriosis per year.  Potential sources of infection reported by Washington residents include poultry, animals, and contaminated food or water.

Purpose of Reporting and Surveillance

  • To determine if there is a source of infection of public health concern (e.g., a commercial raw milk dairy or public water supply) and to stop transmission from such a source.
  • When the source of infection appears to pose a risk to only a few individuals (e.g., a puppy with diarrhea or a private water supply), to inform those individuals how they can reduce their risk of exposure.
  • To identify outbreaks and other undiagnosed cases.

Legal Reporting Requirements

  • Health care providers: notifiable to local health jurisdiction within 3 work days.

  • Hospitals: notifiable to local health jurisdiction within 3 work days.

  • Laboratories: no requirements for reporting.

  • Local health jurisdictions: notifiable to the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) Communicable Disease Epidemiology Section (CDES) within 7 days of case investigation completion or summary information required within 21 days.
