Problems arise when larvae die in critical sites, eye, lung and brain mainly, and promote a granulomatous reaction. There is treatment available - thiabendazole. In September 1993, the Advisory Committee on the Microbiological Safety of Food produced an interim report on Campylobacter in food. Unfortunately, it is much easier to make recommendations than to implement them. Without their implementation though, little progress in our understanding of this unusual organism will be forthcoming.
Frozen birds carry far fewer Campylobacter than do fresh birds.

Topical Disease - Salmonellosis Clinical Presentation Salmonellosis can be complicated by septicaemia, abscess formation, arthritis, cholecystitis, endocarditis, meningitis, pneumonia, pyoderma or pyelonephritis. In enterocolitis, excretion usually persists, often intermittently, for days or weeks beyond the acute phase of the illness. Antibiotics may increase this.
