“…Direct contact with infected animals, particularly their feces, can also lead to transmission [ 13 ]. Once ingested, Campylobacters can cause gastroenteritis, resulting in symptoms such as diarrhea (often bloody), abdominal pain, fever, and nausea [ 26 ]. These symptoms usually start 2 to 5 days after the person ingests Campylobacter and last about one week.…”

Campylobacteriosis is a significant foodborne illness caused by Campylobacter bacteria. It is one of the most common bacterial causes of gastroenteritis worldwide, with poultry being a major reservoir and source of infection in humans. In poultry farms, Campylobacters colonize the intestinal tract of chickens and contaminate meat during processing. Vaccines under development against Campylobacters in poultry showed partial or no protection against their cecal colonization. Therefore, this review will elaborate on campylobacteriosis and emphasize the control strategies and recent vaccine trials against Campylobacters in poultry farms. The epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of Campylobacter infection, along with specific mention of poultry Campylobacter contamination events in Malaysia, will also be discussed.

Background Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a severe disorder characterized by excessive activation of the immune system, leading to hypercytokinemia and damage to multiple organs. We report a rare case of HLH with myopericarditis caused by Campylobacter infection. Case presentation A 28-year-old male patient with a history of hypertension without medicine control presented at the hospital after a four-day fever, decreasing urine amount, rashes on his trunk and limbs, and other symptoms. He was admitted with a provisional diagnosis of atypical infection and allergic skin rash related to diclofenac. However, his condition deteriorated, and he developed shock, tachycardia, chest distress, and bilateral pleural effusion after admission. Further investigations revealed cardiogenic shock related to myopericarditis, and he was transferred to the ICU. In addition, a stool PCR panel subsequently revealed a positive result for Campylobacter. On day 6, he was diagnosed with HLH. Under Clarithromycin and dexamethasone infusion, leukocytosis, anemia and thrombocytopenia with cardiogenic shock status improved. Then, he was later discharged in stable condition. Conclusions HLH and myopericarditis caused by Campylobacter are very rare. Early detection of Campylobacter-induced HLH and multiple organ failure, as well as prompt use of antibiotics and immunosuppressants, can be helpful for prognosis.
