OBJECTIVE: To provide basic clinical, laboratory, and microbiological characteristics of adult @entity1 with campylobacteriosis admitted to the Department of @entity166 University Hospital Brno (UHB), in 2011-2013. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis of clinical and laboratory parameters of 160 @entity1 hospitalized with campylobacteriosis at the Department of @entity166 , UHB from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2013. RESULTS: There was no lethality or @entity2259 reported in the study group of 160 adult @entity1 (n = 160) with campylobacteriosis. A more severe form of the disease with signs of @entity1850 ( @entity1850 ) occurred in 24 @entity1 , i.e. 15% of the study population. Transient mild to moderate @entity1431 and @entity882 were seen in 16 (10.0%) and 24 @entity1 (15.0%), respectively, and seven @entity1 (4.4%) had bicytopenia. The following factors correlated statistically significantly with the intestinal form of the disease and @entity1850 : age under 70 years (p = 0.037), absence of arterial @entity101 (p = 0.044), immunosuppressive treatment (p = 0.008), leukocyte count in the peripheral blood over 12.0 * 109/l (p = 0.023), and body temperature over 38.0   C (p < 0.001). Antibiotic treatment was used in 96.3% of @entity1 with the intestinal form and in 100.0% of @entity1 with @entity1850 . The average duration of antibiotic treatment was 8.8 and 9.3 days, respectively. @entity1960 due to @entity2718 occurred in seven @entity1 (4.4%). There were no organ or autoimmune complications observed. CONCLUSIONS: Campylobacteriosis with @entity1850 occurs preferentially in @entity1 under 70 years of age. Empirical antibiotic treatment is used too frequently without being adequately deescalated.
