[Campylobacter fetus fetus bacteremia. Review of the literature apropos of 2 cases].
The authors report two cases of bacteremia due to Campylobacter fetus fetus (also called C. fetus intestinalis). One was a 22-year-old female, under treatment for active systemic lupus erythematosus, who died. The other was a fifty-year-old male, in a poor general condition, who had a self-limited acute febrile dysentery. In this patient, C. fetus fetus was found in stools after apparent recovery, raising the problem of healthy carriers. A review of the literature shows 64 other such cases.
