Campylobacter osteomyelitis.
We have reported a case of Campylobacter osteomyelitis, which we believe has not been previously reported. Symptoms and signs were nonspecific, but darkfield microscopy of a suspension of isolated bacteria was useful in making a presumptive diagnosis. Initial parenteral therapy based on sensitivity testing and prolonged oral doxycycline therapy was successful.
