Symptoma

Campylobacter Fetus

Human infection with Campylobacter fetus is rare, but it often presents with non-gastrointestinal tract infection among immunocompromised individuals. A 55-year-old abattoir worker presented with a fever. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Edema of Lower Extremity

    In this article, a 51-year-old Chinese woman with severe hepatitis B virus infection complicated with alcoholic liver cirrhosis was admitted with a 3-month history of fatigue, jaundice, and edema of lower extremity, as well as presenting a high fever. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Camping

    One cluster contained 19 strains clearly identified as Camp. fetus subsp. venerealis. The other cluster comprised 12 strains, of which 10 were unambiguously identified as Camp. fetus subsp. fetus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Hodgkin Lymphoma

    Afterwards a non-Hodgkin lymphoma was diagnosed and chemotherapy was started. In January 2000, because of suspect transplantation rejection she was treated with steroid and immunosuppressive therapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Fulminant Sepsis

    Asplenia may yield an increased risk of fulminant sepsis with various pathogens. Human infection with Campylobacter fetus is rare, but it often presents with non-gastrointestinal tract infection among immunocompromised individuals. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Pleural Effusion

    Abstract A 24-year-old man presented with fever and pleural effusion predominantly containing lymphocytes. Cultures of the pleural effusion and blood revealed Campylobacter fetus, and laboratory studies showed a low serum level of immunoglobulin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Lower Abdominal Pain

    Septic ovarian vein thrombosis should be considered as a differential diagnosis in female patients presenting with fever associated with lower abdominal pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Hypotension

    We report the case of a healthy young man with C. fetus bacteremia presenting with fever, hypotension and meningitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The patient was admitted to the hospital for a fever workup. After an extensive workup, a left internal iliac artery aneurysm was found to be the source of sepsis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The workup for infectious diarrhoea, including screening for Clostridium difficile toxin and stool cultures, was negative. She underwent a colonoscopy that did not show any remarkable findings. [scielo.mec.pt]

  • Pericardial Effusion

    A case of pericardial effusion due to Campylobacter fetus in a patient with thalassemia is presented. The patient failed to respond to ceftriaxone and clarithromycin despite in vitro susceptibility, but improved after pericardiectomy and ampicillin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Muscle Calcification

    On admission, an enhanced abdominal computed tomography scan showed an abnormal increase in synovial fluid surrounding the right ilium, with piriformis muscle calcification. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Pleural Effusion

    Abstract A 24-year-old man presented with fever and pleural effusion predominantly containing lymphocytes. Cultures of the pleural effusion and blood revealed Campylobacter fetus, and laboratory studies showed a low serum level of immunoglobulin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The patient was fully recovered with oral antibiotic treatment, anticoagulation and supportive therapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This is a very unusual etiology of intra-amniotic infection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

which are proposed in secondary investigation of relevant clinical samples, when the routine specimen protocols fail to identify a common etiological pathogen. [dovepress.com]

Porcine Pleuropneumonia is considered to be a severe and contagious respiratory disease with potential high morbidity and mortality rates whose etiological agent is Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App). [exopol.com]

Etiology and Epidemiology: The cause is the motile, gram-negative, curved or spiral, polar flagellated, microaerophilic bacteria Campylobacter fetus venerealis or C fetus fetus. [merckvetmanual.com]

Prolonged therapy is essential to the prevention of relapse. A high index of suspicion is necessary for the recognition of this organism in the appropriate clinical settings. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Finally, various measures were put into place to prevent any further outbreaks. Conflict of interest and financial support: none declared. [ntvg.nl]

Endometritis prevents implantation until the infection is cleared and causes early embryonic death and occasionally sporadic abortion. The cow may remain infertile for 3-5 months before immunity develops, which then lasts 4-5 years. [en.wikivet.net]

It resists the normal bactericidal actions of serum due to its S-protein capsule which prevents C3b binding. [bio-rad-antibodies.com]
