Presentation
We present a case report of a patient who had acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and Campylobacter fetus infection with a number of unusual clinical and microbiological features. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Because of the unusually high number of patients that presented in a time period of only five months, the Community Health Services were commissioned to identify the source of infection. [ntvg.nl]

Abdominal Pain
Seven days later, he once again came to the ER with intense abdominal pain. [elsevier.es]
Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fever, and myalgia. Stools are malodorous and frequently bloody. Inflammation involves the gastrointestinal tract from jejunum to anus. [histopathology-india.net]
He denied any gastrointestinal disturbances including diarrhea or abdominal pain during or before this illness. He also denied close contact with animals and eating of undercooked meat or unpasteurized milk. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]
Affected patients are less likely to present with abdominal pain or diarrhea. Cases of C. fetus bacteremia have been noted to be associated with cutaneous manifestations, often described as cellulitis (1a, 1b, 4a, 12a, 12b). [jcm.asm.org]

Nausea
Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fever, and myalgia. Stools are malodorous and frequently bloody. Inflammation involves the gastrointestinal tract from jejunum to anus. [histopathology-india.net]

Treatment
The treatment of choice for most infections is gentamicin, with chloramphenicol recommended for infection involving the central nervous system. Tetracyclines and erythromycin are alternative agents. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment with meropenem, erythromycin, prednisone, and IVIG was started. The results of cultures of blood samples were negative. After 6 days, the patient developed renal failure and epistaxis. [cid.oxfordjournals.org]
Special attention is given to the prevention and treatment of these diseases found in developing countries as well as the latest findings about new antimicrobial agents, gram-negative infections and their management, and recommendations for immunization [books.google.com]
Emergent surgical and antibiotic treatment are mandatory and provide the optimal outcome for such types of pacemaker pocket infection. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]
She completely recovered after delivery of a C. fetus -infected fetus at 18 weeks' gestation and treatment with a combination of cephazolin and gentamicin. [link.springer.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]
Despite rare occurrence, control measures are recommended in order to prevent the spread of the agent to other herds. Keywords : Bubalus bubalis; bovine genital campylobacteriosis; bovina genital. [scielo.br]
