Abstract
Campylobacter species induced enteritis is among the most common in the world. However, its association with gastric perforation is not well documented. We report here a case of a 27-year-old male who presented with a gastric perforation. Gastric biopsy sample revealed Gram-negative spiral bacilli and culture on modified Thayer-Martin agar yielded Campylobacter jejuni. The identification was confirmed by standard biochemical tests. This is probably the first documented case report from India of C. jejuni from the gastric biopsy.
