Sumario:Patient: Male, 65 Final Diagnosis: Septic shock with MOF due to fluoroquinolones resistant Campylobacter jejuni Symptoms: Fever (37.4°C) • acute delirium Medication: — Clinical Procedure: — Specialty: Infectious Diseases OBJECTIVE: Rare disease BACKGROUND: Campylobacter jejuni infections are typically self-limited, and severe extra-intestinal complications are uncommon. CASE REPORT: We report a case of a man with septic shock due to fluoroquinolones resistant Campylobacter jejuni. CONCLUSIONS: This manuscript emphasizes the potential lethality of fluorquinolones resistant Campylobacter jejuni bacteremia.
