Sepsis and pericarditis caused by Campylobacter fetus: case report and literature review. 2011

Khurram Abbass, and Mimi Emig, and Jack M Bernstein

Heretofore, Campylobacter infections have been predominantly associated with gastrointestinal manifestations. Over the past two decades, an increasing number of case reports have suggested that the spectrum of disease is much broader. To date, only 10 cases of myocarditis/pericarditis in patients with C. fetus have been reported in the English literature out of which at least 4 patients have died. We describe here a further case to include as we review the literature.
