Summary

Campylobacter enterocolitis can cause severe abdominal issues requiring surgery. Histopathology revealed inflammation and obstruction, mimicking Crohn's disease but resolving post-operatively.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Campylobacter enterocolitis can present with severe abdominal symptoms necessitating surgical intervention.
  • Limited histopathological data exists for intestinal inflammation in this condition.

Observation:

  • A 52-year-old male with Campylobacter enterocolitis developed symptoms of small intestinal obstruction despite treatment.
  • Laparotomy revealed peritonitis and distal ileum transmural inflammation.

Findings:

  • Histopathology confirmed transmural inflammatory changes in the ileum.
  • These inflammatory changes resolved completely by a second laparotomy.
  • The clinical and pathological findings can be mistaken for Crohn's disease.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential for severe gastrointestinal complications in Campylobacter enterocolitis.
  • The histopathological findings in this case may inform differential diagnoses.
  • Understanding these complications is crucial for appropriate patient management and surgical planning.
