    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Osteomyelitis, a bone infection, can be caused by various pathogens.
    • Campylobacter species are known enteric pathogens, but rarely cause osteomyelitis.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with nonspecific symptoms and signs suggestive of osteomyelitis.
    • Darkfield microscopy of bacterial isolates provided a presumptive diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • The case represents a previously unreported instance of Campylobacter osteomyelitis.
    • Successful treatment involved initial parenteral antibiotics guided by sensitivity testing, followed by oral doxycycline.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the potential for Campylobacter to cause osteomyelitis.
  • Emphasizes the diagnostic utility of darkfield microscopy for unusual pathogens.
  • Demonstrates effective therapeutic strategies for Campylobacter bone infections.
