Campylobacter fetus Subspecies Fetus Bacteremia Associated with Chorioamnionitis and Intact Fetal Membranes

Abstract

Campylobacter fetus subspecies fetus was isolated from the blood of a patient with chorioamnionitis and intact fetal membranes. The mother improved after appropriate antibiotic treatment, but the infant died of neonatal infection a few minutes after delivery. This is a very unusual etiology of intra-amniotic infection.
