Campylobacter fetus bacteraemia in a healthy individual: clinical and therapeutical implications
J Infect.
2005 Nov.
Abstract
Campylobacter species are well-recognized common causes of gastrointestinal infections. While Campylobacter jejuni is probably the most common Campylobacter isolated in humans, Campylobacter fetus is rather infrequent and mostly related with bacteraemia. Even on such occasions, it seems that immunocompetent individuals are spared. We report a case of C. fetus bacteraemia in a healthy-except for impaired fasting glucose (IFG) levels-farmer, presenting as an acute febrile syndrome and treated successfully as brucellosis.
