Presentation
Additionally, the diagnostic challenge presented by this case report emphasizes the need for vigilance and thoroughness in obtaining histories from patients presenting with seemingly benign complaints, especially in vulnerable populations, such as infants [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
-
Intravenous Drugs
Risk factors were contact with animals and concurrent intravenous drug use. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Intermittent Fever
Furthermore, a brain MRI, performed to investigate a persistent intermittent fever even if CSF became sterile, showed a focus cerebritis in the right parietal lobe, early stage of the cerebral abscess. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Respiratoric
-
Productive Cough
The case is reported of an 82-year-old male who presented with a productive cough, fever, and shortness of breath, and who was initially diagnosed with pneumonia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Sore Throat
A 52-year-old gentleman developed a sore throat and died suddenly within an hour of seeing his general practitioner. Post-mortem findings were consistent with death due to laryngeal obstruction associated with epiglottitis and laryngopharyngitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gastrointestinal
-
Suprapubic Pain
A 50-year-old sexually inactive woman presented with suprapubic pain and fever. Cat scratches were seen on her hand. Ultrasonography showed a 7.9-cm complex cystic adnexal structure. Her fever persisted despite broad-spectrum parenteral antibiotics. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Skin
-
Purpura
We found no case reports of purpura fulminans caused by Pasteurella infections in our literature review. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
-
Hyperactivity
Consequently, the expression levels of JAK2 are increased, eventually leading to hyperactivity of JAK2 and its target, the transcription factor STAT3. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Microbiology
-
Helicobacter Pylori
Abstract The concept that bacterial infection could cause cancer has only recently become accepted because of the strong epidemiological and molecular evidence for a major carcinogenic role played by Helicobacter pylori. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Gram-Positive Bacteria
Infective endocarditis (IE) due to Gram-negative bacteria is a rare occurrence, with a relative frequency of less than 10% compared to that caused by Gram-positive bacteria. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Our findings show that there is usually a history of exposure to the animal, early appearance of cat bite related infections, and multifactorial decision making for the treatment of P. multocida joint infections. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
CONCLUSIONS: The prognosis of postoperative PM endophthalmitis remains poor, despite adequate treatment of the infection. A history of recent pet exposure should alert physicians to this possible aetiological factor. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis Once a bacterial infection is halted, the bite victim usually recovers fully. There is no known cure for rabies once symptoms become evident and death is almost certain. [web.archive.org]
Etiology
The etiology of Pasteurella multocida must be borne in mind in cases of sepsis in immunodeficient individuals, such as the cirrhotic patient, as well as exposure to domestic animals. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Due to the polymicrobial etiology of P. multocida infections, treatment requires the use of antimicrobials targeted at the elimination of both aerobic and anaerobic, Gram-negative bacteria. [en.wikipedia.org]
A narrow focus on etiology of MMEs could fail to elucidate causation, where this involves multifactorial interactions between pathogens, hosts, and environment. [advances.sciencemag.org]

Prevention
These infections must be regarded as preventable through adequate measures of hygiene. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
