Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Cardiology
  • Veterinary Medicine

Background:

  • Mitral valve stenosis is a significant risk factor for infective endocarditis.
  • Pasteurella multocida is a common oral bacterium in domestic animals like dogs and cats.

Observation:

  • A 48-year-old male with pre-existing mitral valve stenosis developed Pasteurella multocida endocarditis.
  • The patient had frequent contact with domestic animals.

Findings:

  • Successful treatment involved a 3-week course of intravenous antibiotics followed by mitral valve replacement.
  • This case highlights a rare but serious infection caused by a common zoonotic bacterium.

Implications:

  • Individuals with valvular heart disease and close contact with pets should be vigilant for signs of infection.
