    Background:

    • Campylobacter fetus subspecies jejuni is a recognized cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in humans.
    • While primarily known for causing diarrhea, emerging evidence suggests a broader spectrum of clinical manifestations.

    Observation:

    • A case of septic abortion was successfully treated.
    • The causative agent identified was Campylobacter fetus ssp jejuni.

    Findings:

    • This report documents a rare instance of Campylobacter fetus ssp jejuni infection leading to septic abortion.
    • The bacterium, typically linked to gastrointestinal illness, demonstrated a capacity for severe reproductive tract infection.

    Implications:
