Infection with Campylobacter fetus.
Over a 4-yr period (1978-1982) about 1 000 cases of campylobacter infection were diagnosed at our laboratory in Helsinki, but only 4 proved to be due to Campylobacter fetus. All these 4 patients had fever, 3 had diarrhoea and 1 arthritis and thrombophlebitis. The diagnosis was made from blood cultures in all cases; in 1 case the bacterium was also isolated from stools.
