The genus Campylobacter has become increasingly recognised as the cause of various infections. Campylobacter jejuni and C coli cause acute gastroenteritis in man all over the world. C jejuni enteritis can lead to bacteraemia, but its actual incidence remains unknown. Seven cases of bacteraemia caused by C jejuni or C coli are reported, from the blood of seven patients: five immune deficient adults; a newborn baby; and a patient who had had abdominal surgery. Patients who develop diarrhoea as a result of Campylobacter infection are at risk of bacteraemia thereafter.
弯曲杆菌属已越来越被认为是各种感染的病因。空肠弯曲杆菌和结肠弯曲杆菌在全世界范围内均可导致人类急性肠胃炎。空肠弯曲杆菌肠炎可导致菌血症,但其实际发病率仍不清楚。本文报告了7例由空肠弯曲杆菌或结肠弯曲杆菌引起的菌血症病例,这些病例来自7名患者的血液样本:5名免疫功能低下的成年人、1名新生儿以及1名接受过腹部手术的患者。因弯曲杆菌感染而出现腹泻的患者此后有发生菌血症的风险。
