A 47-year-old man developed Campylobacter fetus intestinalis meningitis 3 years after cadaver renal transplantation. The infection was successfully controlled with chloramphenicol followed by erythromycin. There were no relapses during the past 5 years and the allograft function remains normal. The available evidence suggests that the campylobacter sepsis was associated with nutritional therapy, the patient received in a Mexican clinic. The present case is reported because of its clinical importance and epidemiological implications.
