    A 14-month-old boy experienced a febrile convulsion, later diagnosed with Campylobacter infection. This case highlights that Campylobacter infection can cause febrile convulsions before diarrhea develops.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Febrile convulsions are common in young children.
    • Campylobacter jejuni is a frequent cause of bacterial gastroenteritis.

    Observation:

    • A 14-month-old boy presented with a convulsion and fever (40°C).
    • Diarrhea and Campylobacter jejuni isolation occurred on the second hospital day.

    Findings:

    • Campylobacter infection can manifest as febrile convulsions.
    • Febrile convulsions may precede the typical diarrheal symptoms of Campylobacter infection.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider Campylobacter infection in young children with unexplained febrile convulsions.
    • Early recognition of Campylobacter infection can aid in timely diagnosis and management.
