| Résumé : | We present a female patient of 69 years of age who had a septicaemia due to Campylobacter jejuni with non-specific symptomatology following an episode of diarrhoea due to the organism. After describing the technique of isolation we consider the different forms of human infections due to Campylobacter spp; those due to C. fetus intestinalis principally occurring in patients with an underlying pathology, and those due to C. jejuni occurring in healthy individuals. Generalised Campylobacter spp. infection due to C. jejuni is in reality a fairly rare complication of C. jejuni enteritis which is of much more frequent occurrence particularly in infants. |
