The case of a 17-year-old male with recurrent episodes of cellulitis affecting his left shin is presented. The cellulitis had been present on an intermittent basis over an 18-month period despite several courses of both intravenous and oral antibiotics. Each course of antibiotics resulted in a temporary remission, but on four occasions the cellulitis then relapsed. The patient was known to have pan-hypogammaglobulinaemia and was receiving intravenous IgG replacement therapy every 3 weeks. Other than cellulitis, he remained generally well. The organism responsible for the cellulitis was unknown until Campylobacter jejuni was grown in blood cultures during one of the relapse episodes. Based on microbial sensitivity, the patient was treated with ciprofloxacin. This resulted in full resolution of the cellulitis and he remains well. This case illustrates the value of blood cultures in helping microbial identification, particularly in immunocompromised patients with atypical infections.
