Abstract
Campylobacter spp is not usual as the aetiology agent for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. We report two cases of spontaneous peritonitis due to Campylobacter jejuni diagnosed in our hospital and review the literature trough MEDLINE data base. We found 13 cases of spontaneous peritonitis in which Campylobacter sp was isolated from ascitic fluid. The main characteristics of these cases were: the existence of an evolved alcoholic cirrhosis, a high positivity of blood cultures as well as a high relapse index and letality.
