Epidemiology

Although the frequency of other Campylobacter infections is either low or unclear, C. jejuni infections are extremely common throughout the world. In many studies, the frequency of Campylobacter enteritis exceeds that of Salmonella or Shigella infections, and it has been estimated that as many as 2 million Campylobacter enteritis cases occur annually in the United States

Campylobacter infections are not rare. Several studies indicate that, in the United States, diarrheal disease due to campylobacters is more common than that due to Salmonella and Shigella combined.
