Abstract
Bacterial enteritis has been reported to be a risk factor for childhood intussusception. However, no case report concerning children with concurrent Campylobactor bacteremia and intussusception were found in the literature. Herein, we report a 5-year-old male preschool child who presented symptoms of infectious diarrhea, and ileocecal type intussuscepton and Campylobactor jejuni bacteremia were found after a series of investigations.
