Abstract

Campylobacter fetus (C. fetus) subsp. fetus, a Gram-negative bacterium, is an established cause of abortion and infertility in cattle, sheep and goats. Human infections have been rarely reported. In contrast to TORCH infections, this Campylobacter species is hardly recognized as a cause of abortion in humans. Since 1947 after the first case report in France, there have been only 11 reported cases of pregnant women worldwide and no published reports in Australia, pregnant or otherwise. The case in this study was compared to the first reported infection of C. fetus in 1947 to raise awareness and educate doctors and midwives, subsequently impacting prenatal and antenatal counselling in these regions. A Venn diagram was constructed to highlight the similarities between this and the index case. The similarities found included the clinical state of the patient post-abortion and the all-important history of exposure to farm animals that suffered recent deaths on the farms of both patients. Some of the differences included the time of onset of symptoms to the time of abortion, the choice of antibiotics by both treating teams and the presentation of sepsis, suggesting the importance of C. fetus subsp. fetus as a perinatal infection.

弯曲杆菌胎儿亚种胎儿:在澳大利亚地区流产的不可预见的原因。
胎儿弯曲杆菌亚种胎儿是一种革兰氏阴性细菌,是牛、绵羊和山羊流产和不孕的确定原因。人类感染很少有报道。与TORCH感染相反,这种弯曲杆菌几乎不被认为是人类流产的原因。自1947年法国首次报告病例以来,全世界只有11例报告的孕妇病例,澳大利亚没有发表的报告,无论是怀孕还是其他情况。本研究中的病例与1947年首次报告的C.胎儿感染进行了比较,以提高认识并教育医生和助产士,随后影响了这些地区的产前和产前咨询。构造了一个维恩图来突出这种情况与索引情况之间的相似之处。发现的相似之处包括患者流产后的临床状态,以及与两名患者农场最近死亡的农场动物接触的最重要的历史。一些差异包括出现症状的时间到流产的时间,双方治疗团队对抗生素的选择以及败血症的出现,这表明了胎儿梭菌亚群的重要性。胎儿作为围产期感染。
