Background: Campylobacter and Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) are the two most common bacterial pathogens associated with acute gastroenteritis in children. This study aims to elucidate the epidemiology of Campylobacter and NTS gastroenteritis and develop a scoring system to differentiate them. Materials and methods: This retrospective study enrolled 886 children ≤18 years of age, hospitalized due to acute gastroenteritis with stool culture-proven Campylobacter or NTS infection from July 2012 to December 2015. Pearson's chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression were used to compare clinical manifestations and laboratory data. Receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted to evaluate the scoring system. Results: Seasonality was found in NTS gastroenteritis from May to September, but no seasonality in Campylobacter gastroenteritis. Campylobacter jejuni and Salmonella serogroup B were the most common pathogens. The median ages were 68.2 and 18.5 months and the incidence rates of bacteremia were 0.6% and 7.1% in the Campylobacter and NTS groups, respectively. Salmonella serogroup C2 infection had the highest risk of bacteremia (OR: 5.9, 95% CI: 2.8–12.7, p |
