Retrospective Study of Bone Infection Due to Campylobacter Spp

France10 participantsStarted 2014-12

Plain-language summary

Only 24 cases of Campylobacter bone and joint infection (BJI) have been reported worldwide between 1955 and 2008. Between 2010 and 2012, 7 cases were observed in two University hospitals in France. This increasing number of cases raises several issues. Are they the consequences of better detections and reporting, or are they reflecting any epidemiologic changes? For answering these questions, we performed a 10 year (2002-2012) retrospective multicenter (6 centers) study on BJI (native and implanted joints) due to Campylobacter species.
