Popis: ABSTRACT: Breast implant-associated infections (BIAI) occur in approximately 2% of patients after augmentation mammoplasty. In some cases, BIAI can be treated conservatively, whereas others need implant removal. Knowledge of uncommon potential pathogens in BIAI is important to ensure optimal treatment of BIAI. In the present case report, we describe a case of bilateral late Campylobacter jejuni mastitis in a 34-year-old woman without previous symptoms of gastroenteritis. While Staphylococci are common causative pathogens in BIAI, there are numerous potential pathogens. This case highlights the importance of careful consideration of antibiotic treatment and switch to broad-spectrum antibiotic regimen in BIAI not responding to initial treatment.
