Bactériémie à Campylobacter fetus compliquant un syndrome dysentérique chez un jeune épileptique

Campylobacter fetus bacteremia is rare and occurs mainly in elderly and immunosuppressed patients. We report an original observation of C. fetus bacteremia complicating acute mucoid diarrhea in a young epileptic with no known risk factors. Our observation suggests that antiepileptic treatment could increase the risk of blood-borne of C. fetus infection.
