Campylobacter bacteraemia: a report of 10 cases

The Medical Journal of Australia
D W SpelmanP Ryan

Abstract

Ten cases of campylobacter bacteraemia, which were diagnosed over a three-year period, are described. Four patients presented with acute gastrointestinal illness, three patients had acute febrile illnesses, two patients had cellulitis and one patient presented with ureteric colic. Two patients had lifelong agammaglobulinaemia, two were undergoing corticosteroid therapy and there was one nosocomial infection. In contrast with previous reports, the most common species that was isolated was Campylobacter jejuni, which was found in eight cases, and this includes the first report of cellulitis that was most probably caused by C. jejuni. All of these isolations of campylobacter have occurred since the introduction of the radiometric technique of processing blood cultures.
