Campylobacter jejuni enteritis mistaken for ulcerative colitis.
Campylobacter jejuni is the most common bacterial cause of gastroenteritis and is often missed by routine stool cultures. Patients may present with a clinical syndrome and endoscopic findings that are similar to acute ulcerative colitis. Ciprofloxacin is currently the recommended antibiotic therapy.
