What is the expected duration of Campylobacteriosis?
By: Editorial Team, Harvard
In adults who have normal immune defenses, Campylobacter infection is usually a self-limited illness that goes away on its own within seven to 10 days. With antibiotic treatment, symptoms often stop sooner, usually in about five days.
Without treatment, the illness returns in up to 5% to 10% of otherwise healthy people. Such relapses are more common in people with weakened immune defenses.
