Abstract:
Campylobacter jejuni enterocolitis is one of the common causes of acute infectious diarrhea, but most of them remain unrecognized by routine microbiologic examination. Its clinical manifestations are watery diarrhea, malaise, fever and abdominal pain. The clinical course is self-limited in majority of cases. However cases of Campylobacter jejuni infections as cholecystitis, pancreatitis, peritonitis or cystitis have been infrequently reported. Moreover, reactive arthritis, hepatitis, interstitial nephritis or hemolytic uremic syndrome rarely develops in Campylobacter jejuni enterocolitis. We experienced a patient with Campylobacter jejuni enterocolitis, who had shown complex clinical features manifested by pancreatitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome. We reported the case with literature reviews.
