Abstract

The article discusses a case of bacterial pericarditis caused by Campylobacter fetus in a kidney transplant recipient. The patient presented with altered mental status and elevated inflammatory markers, leading to a diagnosis of pericarditis with cardiac tamponade. Treatment involved antibiotic therapy and drainage, with subsequent improvement in the patient's condition. The case highlights the importance of food safety education for transplant recipients to prevent infections like C. fetus. [Extracted from the article]
