title: Infectoepidemilogic and immunologic implications of Campylobacter coli enteritis in one newborn monozygotic twin pair.
abstract: Since campylobacter infections in humans at early age have not been thoroughly documented yet, it seemed interesting to report the occurrence of two simultaneous cases of C. coli enteritis in one newborn monozygotic twin pair. Their clinical history, epidemiology and microbiological analysis, development of specific serum and mucosal immunity as well as total Ig synthesis are discussed on the basis of their close genetic and environmental relationships.
