M N Kalkay, Z S Ayanian, E A Lehaf, A Baldi.   

Abstract

A case of a compromised host with myeloproliferative syndrome who presented with severe, relentless but nonbloody diarrhea, fever, severe colitis, and toxic megacolon is presented. Blood cultures grew out Campylobacter fetus ssp. fetus. Specific treatment with erythromycin reversed the grave clinical picture to normal in a 5-day period.
