    Pasteurella multocida rarely causes septic arthritis, typically in immunocompromised individuals with joint issues. This study highlights two such cases, emphasizing the need for awareness in at-risk patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Rheumatology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Septic arthritis is commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus species.
    • Pasteurella multocida is an uncommon pathogen, usually associated with animal bites or scratches.
    • Risk factors for atypical septic arthritis include joint damage and compromised immune systems.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of polyarticular septic arthritis caused by Pasteurella multocida are presented.
    • Patients had significant comorbidities, including alcoholic cirrhosis, end-stage renal disease, and metastatic malignancy.
    • These predisposing factors likely contributed to the unusual presentation.

    Findings:

    • Pasteurella multocida can cause severe, widespread joint infections.

  • Immunocompromised status and underlying joint pathology are critical risk factors.
  • Prompt identification and treatment are essential for favorable outcomes.

    • Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider Pasteurella multocida in the differential diagnosis of septic arthritis, especially in immunocompromised patients.
    • Increased awareness may lead to earlier diagnosis and improved management of these rare infections.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and treatment of Pasteurella multocida septic arthritis is warranted.
