1/6. pasteurella multocida meningitis in an adult: case report.pasteurella multocida is known to form part of the normal flora in the nasopharynx or gastrointestinal tract in many domestic and wild animals. Most human P multocida infections are soft tissue infections caused by dog or cat bites. Less commonly this bacterium is associated with infections affecting other organ systems of man. A case of fatal P multocida meningitis discovered at the necropsy of a 52 year old man is described. P multocida is an unusual causative agent of meningitis which tends to affect those at the extremes of age.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = wild (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/6. pasteurella multocida meningitis: case report and review of the literature.pasteurella multocida forms part of the normal flora in the nasopharynx of many domestic and wild animals. Most human P. multocida infections are soft tissue infections due to animal bites. P. multocida meningitis is a rare condition. We report a case of P. multocida meningitis with a complicated outcome and review the literature of this condition.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = wild (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/6. Human pulmonary pasteurellosis.pasteurella multocida causes hemorrhagic septicemia in many domestic and wild animals. The most common human infection with P multocida is a local cellulitis following animal-inflicted wounds, preponderantly cat bites and scractches. The typical clinical manifestations and complications have been well described previously. We present three cases of pulmonary pasteurellosis that were recently evaluated by the infectious diseases service at Barnes Hospital. In three additional cases, the technologists in the microbiology laboratory isolated P multocida from respiratory tract secretions.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = wild (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/6. Clinical and laboratory aspects of yersinia pseudotuberculosis infections, with a report of two cases.yersinia pseudotuberculosis infections in two bacteriologically confirmed cases are described. A child was found to have mesenteric adenitis and an adult had septicemia. Invariably simulating acute appendicitis, mesenteric adenitis most often occurs in male children and adolescents. Septicemia with this organism usually affects elderly, debilitated patients, who frequently have chronic hepatic disease. The infrequent diagnosis of infection with Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in the united states is probably due to failure to consider it a human pathogen. Currently classified with the enterobacteriaceae, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in a non-lactose-fermenting, Gram-negative coccobacillus. It is sensitive to a wide range of antibiotics, including tetracycline and streptomycin, but usually is resistant to ampicillin. Yersinia pseudotuberculosis has a worldwide distribution in wild and domestic mammals and birds. Infections in man may result from direct contact with infected animals or their excreta.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = wild (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/6. pasteurella multocida tonsillitis: case report and review.pasteurella multocida is frequently part of the normal flora of the nasopharynx and digestive tract of several wild and domestic animals. Although P. multocida can produce a variety of upper and lower respiratory tract infections, only four previous cases of tonsillitis caused by this organism have been reported. We present a case of pasteurella tonsillitis in a 30-year-old female who was exposed through her cat, which manifested upper respiratory symptoms.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = wild (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/6. Case report: Pasturella multocida empyema.Pasturella multocida is a species of small, bipolar staining coccobacillus residing, saprophytically, in the oropharynx of many domestic and wild animals. Infection or cellulitis caused by Pasturella multocida most often occurs after a dog bite or cat bite.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = wild (Clic here for more details about this article) |
