MEMBRILLO DE NOVALES, F.J.; PRIEGO DE MONTIANO, P.; LUCENA CALVET, P. e PEREA PEREA, C.. Deep vein thrombosis related to Campylobacter fetus bacteriemia. Sanid. Mil. [online]. 2011, vol.67, n.3, pp.304-305. ISSN 1887-8571. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1887-85712011000400008.
We present a patient who was admitted with symptoms of disorientation, fever, and diarrheal stools. Examination and laboratory tests showed a deep vein thrombosis in the left leg, and isolation of C. fetus in blood cultures taken during a fever peak. The association of C. fetus with thromboembolic events has been reported, but we haven't found any cases in our biliograpich search describing this association confirmed by the isolation of the organism in blood cultures, except for a ovaric vein thrombosis.
