Las bacterias del género Campylobacter han cobrado importancia como patógenas para el hombre, debido principalmente a su asociación con procesos gastroentéricos, a través del contacto con animales infectados y/o alimentos contaminados como fuente principal de contaminación para el hombre que provoca cuadros gastrointestinales ocasionados por este tipo de bacterias, las personas mas susceptibles son los niños menores de cinco años, las personas de edad avanzada y los inmunocomprometidos. Los objetivos del presente trabajo fueron determinar la presencia e incidencia de Campylobacter (Campylobacter jejuni, C. coli, C. lari) como agente etiológico de diarrea aguda, en niños menores de cinco años atendidos en hospitales de Lima (Perú). / The bacteria of the Campylobacter genus have become important as pathogens for humans mainly because of their association to gastroenteric processes. These are caused through contact with infected animals and/or contaminated food as the main source of contamination for humans, which cause gastrointestinal manifestations resulting from this type of bacteria. The most sensitive are children under five, the elderly and the immune deficient people. The objectives of the present work were to determine the presence and incidence of Campylobacter (Campylobacter jejuni, C. coli, C. lari) as etiological agent of acute diarrhea in children under five treated in hospitals in Lima (Perú).
