Pasteurella Multocida Infection in a Post-chemotherapy Neutropenic Host Following Cat Exposure
Clinical Oncology, 2002Co-Authors: Raghavendra Gowda, Ronald StoutAbstract:We report a case of Pasteurella Multocida Infection in a neutropenic patient. History of contact with animals is important, particularly in patients who present with localized cellulitis and neutropenic fever. Clinical features and treatment of the disease are discussed.

Pasteurella Multocida Infection in total knee arthroplasty case report and literature review
Journal of Arthroplasty, 1992Co-Authors: Tammy L Guion, Thomas P SculcoAbstract:Pasteurella Multocida, a small gram-negative bacterium, is part of the normal mouth flora of many animals, including domestic cats and dogs. While commonly associated with Infections in animals, it is a rare cause of human disease. The majority of Pasteurella Infections in humans occur with percutaneous inoculation of the organism following a bite by a cat or dog, although disease without antecedent animal exposure or with causal animal contact does occur. The spectrum of disease produced ranges from localized, including abscess, cellulitis, lymphadenopathy, and osteomyelitis, to systemic, with septicemia, septic arthritis, respiratory, and central nervous system involvement. Altered host defenses and underlying chronic disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis, corticosteroid therapy, and severe hepatic or renal disease, may predispose to more serious systemic manifestations of Infection. The authors report a case of P. Multocida Infection in a total knee arthroplasty as a result of a dog scratch and review the literature reporting P. Multocida Infections in total knee arthroplasty.

Pasteurella Multocida Infection of a total hip arthroplasty
Journal of Arthroplasty, 1992Co-Authors: B D Braithwaite, G GiddinsAbstract:Abstract The authors report a case history of a diabetic woman requiring revision hip arthroplasty of a Charnley total hip prosthesis that was infected with Pasteurella Multocida. The Infection of the loose prosthesis followed a cat bite to the same leg. Advice is given on the management of patients with Infection following animal inoculations, and the subject of increased risk with a loose prosthesis is discussed.

Pasteurella Multocida Infection of a total knee arthroplasty after a “dog lick”
Knee Surgery Sports Traumatology Arthroscopy, 2006Co-Authors: B. Heym, F. Jouve, M. Lemoal, A. Veil-picard, A. Lortat-jacob, M.h. Nicolas-chanoineAbstract:The patient we report here underwent a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) which got infected with P. Multocida after her dog had licked a small wound at the third toe of the same foot. Despite a correct treatment comprising synovectomy and cleansing, and an active antibiotic treatment for 3 months, the patient was readmitted for persistent Infection of the same knee 2 weeks after the end of the antibiotic treatment. Sampling during surgery allowed for the growth of a P. Multocida isolate proven by a molecular method to be identical to the previously isolated strain. This recurrent P. Multocida Infection was treated by a two-step change of the TKA comprising a 2-month period of antibiotic treatment between the two surgical interventions.

non zoonotic Pasteurella Multocida Infection as a cause of septic shock in a patient with liver cirrhosis a case report and review of the literature
Journal of Global Infectious Diseases, 2013Co-Authors: Jose Orsini, Ruben Perez, Alfonso Llosa, Nyale AraguezAbstract:Pasteurella Multocida is a Gram-negative organism characterized morphologically as coccobacillus. It is the commonest organism infecting pet bites. However, severe Infections may occur in the absence of animal bites or scratches. Pasteurella Multocida serves as an opportunistic pathogen in humans, especially in patients with depressed immune system. Few cases in the literature identify Pasteurella Multocida as the causative agent of septic shock, especially in cirrhotic patients. We report a patient who presented with septic shock as a result of Pasteurella Multocida bacteremia, without prior history of animal exposure.
