Campylobacter beyond the gut: A case series of Campylobacter jejuni bacteraemia with atypical presentations.

Campylobacter jejuni is a common cause of gastro-enteritis, whereas bacteraemia is an infrequent and under-recognized manifestation. Initial standard culture conditions failed to yield growth, indicating possible diagnostic delays. Identification was achieved by incubating the culture plates in microaerophilic conditions and rapid identification by MALDI-TOF MS (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry).
