Resum

Campylobacter spp. infection is considered as main bacterial enteritis causes in humans. Among Campylobacter spp., Campylobacter fetus can be a cause of systemic infections such as cellulitis, osteomyelitis, arthritis, pericarditis and endocarditis. However, Campylobacter coli and Campylobacter jejuni predominantly induce gastrointestinal infections and rarely cause bacteremia except in elderly and immunodeficient individuals. The case is presented of a 26 year-old male affected by XLA immunodeficiency, who had a clinical profile of 2 weeks evolution with fever, ankle left postintervention surgical and 5-6 daily liquid bowel movements without pathological products. Initial exploration and analytical showed an infectious process. We proceeded to carry out complementary, stool culture and blood culture tests where it was found Campylobacter coli bacteremia.
