Treatment: Campylobacteriosis

• Fluid and electrolyte replacement is the mainstay of therapy.
• Use of antimotility agents is not recommended, as they are associated with toxic megacolon.
• Antibiotic treatment (erythromycin, 250 mg PO qid for 5-7 days) should be reserved for pts with high fever, bloody or severe diarrhea, persistence for >1 week, and worsening of symptoms. Azithromycin and fluoroquinolones are alternative regimens, although resistance to fluoroquinolones is increasing.
