AB Bacteria  of  the  genus  Campylobacter  and  of  the  related  genera  Arcobacter  and  Helicobacter(Chap.  60)  cause  a  variety  of  inflammatory  conditions.  Although  acute  diarrheal  illnesses  are  most  common,  these  organisms  may  cause  infections  in  virtually  all  parts  of  the  body,  especially  in  compromised  hosts,  and  these  infections  may  have  late  nonsuppurative  sequelae.  The  designation  Campylobacter  comes  from  the  Greek  for  “curved  rod”  and  refers  to  the  organism’s  vibrio-like  morphology.
