Here we present a case report of a 41‐year‐old woman suffering from high fever and bacteremia due to H elicobacter canis , 11 months after kidney transplantation. Identification of H . canis was achieved by 16s rDNA sequence analysis of a positive blood culture. The patient was restored fully to health after antibiotics therapy (cefuroxime and ciprofloxacin). Until now, only 4 human clinical cases have been described with H . canis bacteremia. This study describes for the first time, to our knowledge, an infection with H . canis in a kidney transplant patient.
