Campylobacter jejuni abscess, encephalomyelitis, and acute polyradiculoneuropathy
Muscle & Nerve, 10/07/09

Kamm CP et al. – The authors report an unusual case of spinal epidural Campylobacter jejuni abscess associated with acute polyradiculoneuropathy and parainfectious encephalomyelitis. Decompressive surgery, antibiotics, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapy, and intravenous methylprednisolone resulted in rapid clinical improvement. C. jejuni infection can cause both an acute polyradiculoneuropathy as well as an encephalomyelitis, and a combined occurrence is possible.
