Extraintestinal Manifestation of Bacteremia as Acute Hepatitis: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

is a causative agent of foodborne zoonosis that usually causes self-limiting pseudoappendicitis. infection also causes systemic spread or extraintestinal manifestations in patients with predisposing conditions. Here, we present a case of acute hepatitis with bacteremia in a 30-year-old man. He was previously healthy without significant medical history other than obesity and current smoking. At the time of admission, he presented with high fever accompanied by chills, jaundice, abdominal pain, and watery diarrhea. Laboratory studies revealed leukocytosis and elevated liver function parameters. A stool culture showed no causative pathogens. Empiric antibiotic therapy with ceftriaxone and metronidazole was administered. was later isolated from the initial blood culture performed on the day of admission using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Antibiotic treatment was continued based on the susceptibility testing results from MALDI-TOF MS and VITEk2, as well as clinical and laboratory improvements. The patient was discharged on the tenth day of admission and remained healthy with no recurrence during the 12-month follow-up. Here, we review the literature on the systemic infection caused by , including extraintestinal manifestations. This case highlights that may be considered a differential causative organism in patients with acute colitis and hepatitis.
