Figure 1 Course of fever between January and May. Time period of the first and second hospital stay is indicated, as is the time point when the three blood cultures became positive (3 positive bc), as well as the start of treatment with ciprofloxacin (cipro) after diagnosis of the causitive pathogen.

Figure 3 PCR of a 292-bp fragment of the 16s rRNA gene: using a universal (forward) and a Helicobacter-specific (reverse) primer PCR was performed with genomic DNA of Escherichia coli (lane 1), Campylobacter jejuni (lane 2), Campylobacter coli (lane 3), Helicobacter pylori (lane 4), no DNA (lane 5) and the patient's isolate (lane 6).
