RESUMO
Campylobacter fetus causes in humans mostly gastroenteritis. Systemic infection occurs almost exclusively in immunocompromised patients with chronic debilitating diseases. We report the case of a Campylobacter fetus meningitis in a woman aged 48 years with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus treated with corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs. Cerebrospinal fluid culture was positive for Campylobacter fetus. The evolution was favorable using imipenem and ciprofloxacin.
