Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Human pasteurellosis is a severe human infection that accounts for 20-30 human deaths annually worldwide. Mucous secretions derived from pets comprise the primary source of infection, which are transmitted through animal scratches or bites.
CASE REPORT: We describe a case of Pasteurella multocida wound infection in an immunocompetent adult with a decubitus ulcer of the lower extremity. The organism was also isolated from an oral swab of the patient's dog with which he reported close contact. The patient had a favorable outcome following aggressive surgical debridement, antimicrobial treatment and subsequent wound care.
CONCLUSION: Our case illustrates that licking of open wound is an alternative source of infections by Pasteurella multocida, and emphasizes the need for avoidance of wound contact with animals.
