Abstract
- Campylobacter jejuni was isolated from the blood of a 31-year-old woman who suffered a mid-trimester septic abortion with fever and headache. Histologically, evidence of septic abortion was found, with an intervillous abscess and acute villitis. Complete clinical recovery followed termination of the pregnancy and the use of antibiotics. C. jejuni is an unusual cause of septic abortion in humans. To our knowledge, no case has been reported in Korea.
