Can a Campylobacter infection be severe?

Campylobacter infections are very contagious, meaning you can get an infection easily. However, most people who get sick from it will feel better in about a week.

If your immune system is weak from diseases or chemotherapy, you may want to talk to a healthcare provider if you are concerned about Campylobacter or if you have a diarrheal illness.
