Abstract
Infection due to Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus during pregnancy is uncommon in humans. We report a case of a pregnant woman who experienced premature labor. The infant was diagnosed with neonatal sepsis due to C. fetus subsp. fetus, and was successfully treated with carbapenem. Maternal clinical symptoms and severe villitis suggested that the route of fetal infection was hematogenous spread. We also review previous reports in the literature that describe this infection during pregnancy.Entities:
