ABSTRACT
In two pregnant women aged 39 and 35, who presented with fever and diarrhoea, Campylobacter was cultured from a blood sample. They were treated with antibiotics. One had a healthy neonate, in the other intrauterine foetal death had occurred. Campylobacter species have increasingly been recognized as possible causes of septic abortion, premature labour and neonatal sepsis. Early recognition and treatment of maternal Campylobacter infection may reduce the risk of serious foetal or neonatal complications.
