Campylobacter infection

As with any diarrhoeal illness, hydration is central to treatment. It is important to drink sufficient liquids and seek medical assistance if unable to stay hydrated with oral intake. All people with diarrhoea, especially children, should wash their hands carefully and frequently with soap to reduce the risk of spreading infection. Basic infection control measures should be used as with any diarrhoeal patient (i.e., avoiding food handling or preparation, and washing hands carefully and frequently).
