  • Title: Prosthetic hip infection and bacteremia due to Campylobacter jejuni in a patient with AIDS.
    Author: Peterson MC, Farr RW, Castiglia M.
    Journal: Clin Infect Dis; 1993 Mar; 16(3):439-40. PubMed ID: 8452956.
    Abstract:
    Campylobacter jejuni is a common enteric pathogen in healthy individuals and in patients with AIDS. It usually causes a self-limited diarrheal illness with fever and abdominal pain. We report what we believe is a unique case of C. jejuni osteomyelitis in a 60-year-old man who had hemophilia A, AIDS, and a hip prosthesis. He presented to the hospital with a 4-day history of fever and diarrhea and a 1-day history of hip pain. Findings on plain films and a bone scan were suggestive of osteomyelitis in the proximal femur. Cultures of blood and a hip aspirate yielded C. jejuni.
