Presentation
We present a case of an RTR with C. jejuni bacteremia presenting as self-limiting diarrhea followed by fever and cellulitis. The patient was successfully treated with a 2-week course of imipenem and developed no other complications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In Figure 2, I present sequence information for two conserved indels that are uniquely present in various sequenced ε-proteobacterial homologs, but which are not found in the corresponding proteins from any other organism. [doi.org]
Cardiovascular
-
Thrombosis
To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of septic cavernous sinus thrombosis caused by C. rectus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Skin
-
Flushing
The goal of this research was to estimate the health risks associated with the exposure to Campylobacter when harvesting urban stormwater for toilet flushing and irrigation activities, and the role treatment options play in limiting risks. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Urogenital

Urinary Retention
A case of bacteremia caused by a rare Helicobacter species, Campylobacter-like organism 3 (CLO-3), in a 75-year-old man with prostate cancer and an indwelling urethral catheter for urinary retention, is reported. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
[…] coagulation, filtration, UV, and chlorination treatment plant. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
As can be seen in figure 2, the effects of treatment show some variability, which indicates heterogeneity between studies. One such factor that differed between studies was the time interval from first symptoms to treatment. [doi.org]
Etiology
[…] drug effects Campylobacter upsaliensis/isolation & purification* DNA, Bacterial/chemistry DNA, Bacterial/genetics DNA, Ribosomal/chemistry DNA, Ribosomal/genetics Diarrhea/microbiology* Diarrhea/pathology* Feces/microbiology Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage/etiology [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This periodontopathogenic genus with high percentage may also play an important role in the etiology of OLP. [nature.com]
Epidemiology
Although these organisms have already emerged as causative agents of zoonoses, several aspects of their epidemiology and pathophysiology are only beginning to emerge. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology
Although these organisms have already emerged as causative agents of zoonoses, several aspects of their epidemiology and pathophysiology are only beginning to emerge. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
[…] vaccines; (v) understanding transmission routes to broiler flocks; (vi) knowledge of bacteriocins, bacteriophages and antimicrobial peptides as preventive therapies; (vii) ration formulation as an effective preventive measure at a farm level; (viii) development [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

General Information Campylobacter (CDC) General information on diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and more. Campylobacter Questions and Answers (USDA) General information on symptoms, complications, trends, prevention, and more. [foodsafety.gov]
Prevention Exclude people with Campylobacter from childcare, preschool, school and work until there has been no diarrhoea for 24 hours. [sahealth.sa.gov.au]
