Abstract:
Campylobacter f etus has been increasingly associated with extraintestinal infections in patients with underlying diseases. Pulmonary involvement in human by this organism is rare. We report a case of septic pneumonia secondary to community-acquired C. f etus bacteremia in a 67 year-old man with chronic renal failure.
