Abstract

A Western blot (immunoblot) assay was used to detect Campylobacter-specific immunoglobulin A in urine. Acute-phase urine samples from six children with Campylobacter diarrhea had titers ranging from 2 to 8. The highest titer was detected 4 days postonset. Campylobacter-specific immunoglobulin A was undetectable in the paired convalescent-phase specimens and urine samples from three control children.
