[Campylobacter jejuni: sepsis and meningitis in an adult without risk factors].
A case of Campylobacter jejuni meningitis with associated septicemia and positive stool culture in a normal host is presented. Clinical findings, course of the illness and serologic data are compared with data from the literature. The possibility of infection due to a serum-resistant strain of Campylobacter jejuni is raised. Retrospective analysis of immunity revealed normal humoral and cellular immunity in a healthy patient one year later.
