    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Gastroenterology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Campylobacter jejuni is a leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide.
    • Severe dehydration is a significant complication of infectious diarrhea.

    Observation:

    • A 31-year-old female presented with a 5-day history of fever, chills, and diarrhea.
    • Hospitalization was required due to severe dehydration and extremely high stool volumes (up to 8,800 ml/24 hours).

    Findings:

    • Infection was confirmed as Campylobacter jejuni enteritis.
    • Treatment with intravenous fluids, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and an oral glucose-sodium solution led to rapid clinical improvement.

    Implications:

    • Oral rehydration therapy may play a crucial role in managing Campylobacter enteritis.
