Only 2 cases of Campylobacter bacteremia have been reported in renal transplant recipients, to our knowledge, with both resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. We present a case of a 56-year-old renal transplant recipient who presented with brief diarrheal illness followed by Campylobacter jejuni bacteremia. She remained asymptomatic for 5 days after initial presentation despite positive blood cultures. She was treated with levofloxacin for a total of 4 weeks and, fortunately, did not develop any complications. C. jejuni should be considered in the differential diagnosis as a potential cause of bacteremia in immunosuppressed renal transplant patients presenting with diarrheal illness. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/S.
