Summary

Maternal Campylobacter jejuni infection during pregnancy can lead to adverse outcomes, including stillbirths and neonatal complications. Prompt diagnosis and antibiotic treatment are crucial for preventing poor pregnancy and infant outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Neonatal Medicine

Background:

  • Campylobacter jejuni is a common cause of bacterial gastroenteritis.
  • Pregnancy can alter the immune response to infections.
  • Data on pregnancy outcomes following Campylobacter jejuni infection are limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review pregnancy outcomes in women with confirmed Campylobacter jejuni infections.
  • To assess the impact of maternal Campylobacter jejuni infection on fetal and neonatal health.
  • To highlight the importance of diagnosing Campylobacter jejuni in pregnant patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case note review.
  • Inclusion of pregnancies with confirmed Campylobacter jejuni infections.
  • Data collection from two Queensland teaching hospitals.

Main Results:

  • Two pregnancies resulted in stillbirths (affecting three fetuses).
  • Two neonates required antibiotic treatment shortly after birth.
  • Two pregnancies treated promptly showed no adverse outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Maternal Campylobacter jejuni infection poses a significant risk to pregnancy.
  • Early detection and treatment of Campylobacter jejuni are vital for improved maternal and infant outcomes.
  • Suspected infectious diarrhea in pregnant patients warrants active Campylobacter testing.
