Abstract

Macrolide/fluoroquinolone-resistant Campylobacter jejuni-induced cellulitis in a patient with X-linked agammaglobulinaemia successfully treated with carbapenem *In these cases, macrolide/fluoroquinolone-resistant C. jejuni was detected gl The skin lesion was diagnosed as bacterial cellulitis, and we started antibiotic treatment with cefaclor (750 mg/day). I Streptococcus pyogenes i and I Staphylococcus aureus i are known as major causes of cellulitis.1 I Campylobacter jejuni i is one of the most common causes of foodborne enteric infections in developing countries and may cause refractory cellulitis in immunocompromised patients.2 Here we report a case of multidrug-resistant I C. jejuni i cellulitis in an X-linked agammaglobulinaemia patient.
