Immunoproliferative smal intestinal disease associated with Campylobacter jejuni
Article Abstract:
A gastrointestinal disease called immunoproliferative small intestinal disease may be caused by a bacteria called Campylobacter jejuni. When a 45-year-old woman was successfully cured of this disease with antibiotics, doctors found Campylobacter jejuni in her biopsy tissue samples. They also tested samples from six other patients who had the disease in the previous 25 years and these samples also tested positive for this bacteria.
