Abstract
Two patients with beta thalassemia who had undergone splenectomy for hypersplenism were admitted to the hospital with high fever and lobar pneumonia. Neither patient had gastrointestinal symptoms. Campylobacter bacteremia was diagnosed in both patients. Campylobacter jejuni was identified in the first patient and Campylobacter fetus in the second. Both patients were treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics and recovered fully.Entities:
