The following are the most important diseases or complications that may be contributed to by Campylobacter enteritis:

- Reactive arthritis (synonym: postinfectious arthritis/joint inflammation) – secondary disease after gastrointestinal (affecting the gastrointestinal tract), urogenital (affecting the urinary and genital organs), or pulmonary (affecting the lungs) infections; refers to arthritis in which pathogens (Campylobacter spp., Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia) cannot (usually) be found in the joint (sterile synovitis).
Psyche – Nervous System (F00-F99; G00-G99).
- Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS; synonyms: Idiopathic polyradiculoneuritis, Landry-Guillain-Barré-Strohl syndrome); two courses: acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (peripheral nervous system disease); idiopathic polyneuritis (multiple nerve disease) of spinal nerve roots and peripheral nerves with ascending paralysis and pain; usually occurs after infection
The following are the most important diseases or complications that can be caused by a Campylobacter fetus subspecies fetus with:
Cardiovascular system (I00-I99).
- Endocarditis lenta – endocarditis with mild symptoms.
- Phlebitis (vascular inflammation)
Musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (M00-M99)
- Arthritis (inflammation of the joints)
Psyche – nervous system (F00-F99; G00-G99)
