Résumé
Campylobacter spp. are a frequent cause of gastroenteritis, presenting in some patients as an acute abdominal emergency. Here we describe the distinctive clinical characteristics of these patients. We designed a retrospective, single-centre, observational study. Children and adolescents under 18 years of age who had positive stool cultures for Campylobacter spp. during the period between June 1, 2008 and May 31, 2016 were identified from our database. Hospitalised patients with Campylobacter spp. were then matched for age and gender with patients hospitalised for gastroenteritis of other or unknown aetiology. Patients who had undergone abdominal radiographic investigation or had received a surgery consultation were included as "acute abdomen" (AA) cases. Demographics, clinical characteristics and management were compared between AA and non-AA cases. One hundred and forty-one patients with cultures positive for Campylobacter spp. were included in the analysis. Nineteen patients were identified as AA cases. Fewer of these had diarrhoea (14/19, 74% vs 117/121, 97%; p = 0.02) and more reported a lower sense of general wellbeing (8/18, 44% vs 8/108, 7%; p
