Campylobacter jejuni causes gastroenteritis in children. This study details six cases of neonatal enterocolitis from Campylobacter in Saudi Arabia, highlighting key symptoms like diarrhea, fever, and bloody stools.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Campylobacter jejuni is a major cause of childhood gastroenteritis.
  • Neonatal enterocolitis due to Campylobacter is rarely documented globally.
  • No prior cases were reported in Saudi Arabia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the first cases of neonatal enterocolitis caused by Campylobacter jejuni in Saudi Arabia.
  • To describe the clinical presentation and management of these cases.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series analysis.
  • Inclusion of six neonates diagnosed with Campylobacter enterocolitis between September 1989 and January 1991.
  • Review of patient records for symptoms, stool characteristics, and treatment.

Main Results:

  • Six neonates presented with diarrhea (1-20 days duration).
  • Three neonates had bloody stools, and two had mucus.
  • Five neonates exhibited fever, a finding contrasting with previous literature.
  • Various antibiotic treatments were administered, including erythromycin and augmentin.

Conclusions:

  • Campylobacter infection should be considered in neonates with diarrhea, especially when accompanied by mucus and blood.
  • Fever may be a more common presenting symptom in neonates than previously reported.
