“…Possible modes of spread to the peritoneal cavity include outside contamination at the time of bag change, transmural migration of organisms across the gut wall (4), and bacteremia. It has been postulated that the development of extraintestinal C. jejuni infection is predisposed to by either increased virulence, such as development of resistance to the usual bactericidal activity of human serum (5), or an immune defect in the host, such as that possibly associated with chronic renal failure or its treatment (2).…”

“…There are several abdominal manifestations of Campylobacter infection, including cholecystitis,11 pancreatitis,12 appendicitis,13 toxic megacolon,14 intestinal obstruction15 and colonic perforation 16. Peritonitis is recognised in the setting of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis17 and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in cirrhotic patients 18. Other complications of Campylobacter infection reported include reactive arthritis, septic abortion, myocarditis, meningitis, encephalopathy and haemolytic–uraemic syndrome 7 19.…”

The case is described of a 27-year-old woman who presented with an acute diarrhoeal illness. She was initially poorly responsive to antibiotics and developed lymphocytic ascites. Diagnosis was difficult to establish, and peritoneal tuberculosis was considered to be the most likely cause of her symptoms. Serological tests eventually confirmed Campylobacter jejuni infection. Campylobacter is one of the most common bacterial diarrhoeal infections, and complications, except for colitis, are rare except in specific disease states--for example, patients with cirrhosis or undergoing peritoneal dialysis. Antibiotic resistance is an increasing problem, and this may potentially lead to a greater incidence of complications in the future.

“…Presentamos 2 casos de PBE en los que C. jejuni ha podido ser aislado en el líquido ascítico recogidos en nuestro hospital. Tras realizar una exhaustiva revisión de la literatura mediante el sistema MEDLINE sólo hemos encontrado 13 casos adicionales de PBE por el género Campylobacter (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26). Únicamente hemos considerado los pacientes en los que se ha identificado Campylobacter spp en el líquido ascítico, sin tener en cuenta aquellos casos de bacteriemia con ascitis neutrocítica y cultivo negativo de líquido ascítico.…”

De los pacientes que presentan una descompensación ascítica de su cirrosis hepática, del 8 al 25% presentan un episodio de peritonitis bacteriana espontánea (PBE) en el momento del ingreso o lo desarrollan a lo largo del mismo. La mayoría de ellos están causados por bacilos gram negativos de procedencia intestinal, especialmente Escherichia coli (1). Las bacterias anaerobias o microaerófilas como Campylobacter spp se han implicado raramente en la PBE del cirrótico. El género Campylobacter produce habitualmente infección entérica que se manifiesta como diarrea, dolor abdominal, fiebre y vómitos. La bacteriemia es una manifestación inusual que afecta preferentemente a pacientes inmunocomprometidos (2-10). A pesar de describirse en la literatura con mayor frecuencia las bacteriemias por Campylobacter spp en la última década (3,11,12) gracias a la mejoría de las técnicas de cultivo (4) y el mayor número de pacientes con alteraciones del sistema inmunológico, especialmente los infectados por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (4

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis due to Campylobacter jejuni

Abstract: SummaryA patient with alcoholic cirrhosis complicated by ascites developed spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.Campylobacter jejuni-(a microaerophilic bacillus)-was isolated from ascitic fluid and blood.
