“…14,15 Septic arthritis, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, salpingitis, lung abscess, cellulitis, urinary tract infections, cholecystitis, vertebral osteomyelitis and prosthetic hip joint infection are among the various reported complications of C. fetus bacteraemia. 6,10,[16][17][18][19][20] Nevertheless, almost none of the above has been reported in an immunocompetent individual without any vascular damage. It seems that some degree of immunodeficiency is a prerequisite for the development of such complications.…”

“…While cirrhosis is a major risk factor for SBP, the condition can also occur with other conditions that lead to ascites, such as heart failure, nephrotic syndrome, Budd-Chiari syndrome, and extrahepatic portal venous obstruction. [6][7][8][9] Patients often present with fever or hypothermia, chills, and abdominal pain, but approximately 30% of patients with SBP are asymptomatic, defined as lack of abdominal pain, fever, or rise in white blood cell (WBC) count above baseline. Ascites fluid analysis, with a diagnostic threshold of PMN count .250, is sufficient for diagnosing SBP since ascitic fluid cultures are frequently nondiagnostic.…”

A 59-year-old woman with polycythemia vera-related portal hypertension requiring frequent paracentesis was admitted for asymptomatic recurrent spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, which was diagnosed based on elevated polymorphonuclear (PMN) count. She had multiple similar admissions during which she was treated with antibiotics. The patient had chronic baseline leukocytosis due to polycythemia vera. Repeat paracentesis after intravenous antibiotics demonstrated persistent elevation of PMN count without clinical symptoms. A multidisciplinary team concluded that the increased PMN count was secondary to polycythemia. The patient was diagnosed with omental extramedullary hematopoiesis, a rare condition causing elevated PMN count in the absence of bacterial contamination.

“…6 In immunocompromised patients, lung abscess, prosthetic hip joint infection, septic arthritis, vertebral osteomyelitis, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, and cholecystitis are among the diverse complications of C. fetus bacteraemia. 7,[9][10][11][12] C. fetus bacteremia has also been rarely reported in immunocompetent patients. Human immunodeficiency virus infection, primary immunodeficiencies, liver cirrhosis, alcoholism, senility, pregnancy, diabetes mellitus, haematological and solid organ malignancies or transplantation, systemic lupus erythematosus, and splenectomy are significant predisposing factors for C. fetus infections.…”

Campylobacter fetus is an important pathogen of extra intestinal infections in patients with immunodeficiency. A case of Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus bacteremia in a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome was presented in this study.A 78-year-old woman with myelodysplastic syndrome was admitted to the emergency due to chest pain and dyspnea. A diagnosis of pneumonia was made, and blood, throat, and urine samples were obtained for microbiological tests. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and piperacillin-tazobactam were empirically initiated. C. fetus subsp. fetus was isolated from blood cultures and clarithromycin was added. The patient responded an overall 21-day antimicrobial treatment. Because repeated blood cultures were negative, and her general condition improved, upon that she was discharged from the hospital.In conclusion, the incidence of C. fetus infections was low, and case reports are rare in current literature in Turkey. The infections can occur with these bacteria should not be overlooked in the clinical laboratory.
