The presence of stool blood in neonatal age may be an insignificant symptom or may indicate a serious condition that requires rapid diagnosis and treatment. Severe conditions with this symptom include neonatal colitis due to various infectious agents. The authors present two cases of Campylobacter jejuni infection in newborns. The bacteriological examination is crucial. Even in neonatal age macrolides can be used, the duration of treatment is usually 7-10 days. With early diagnosis and treatment, the campylobacter infection of the newborn may proceed uncomplicated and without a general alteration of the condition.

Keywords: Campylobacter jejuni, clarithromycin, newborn.
