Abstract

We describe a longitudinal study carried out in an adult outbreak-associated cohort to investigate health effects, including post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome, occurring after resolution of acute infection. New symptoms self-reported up to 12 months included: weight loss (31 %), abdominal pain (38 %), diarrhoea (33 %), eye pain (9 %), joint pain (33 %), fatigue (22 %) and symptoms consistent with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) (28 %). Two people were medically diagnosed with IBS. This study describes for the first time sequelae reported by patients up to 12 months after infection with , which appear to be similar to those described with
