Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis caused by Pasteurella ureae.

R C Noble, B J Marek, S B Overman

    Journal of Clinical Microbiology
    |February 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Pasteurella ureae rarely causes illness, but a case of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis is presented. This bacterium is typically found in respiratory tracts of older men with lung disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Pasteurella ureae is an uncommon bacterium with limited documented human pathogenicity.
    • Previous reports indicate respiratory colonization, particularly in elderly males with chronic lung conditions.

    Observation:

    • This report details a rare case of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis caused by Pasteurella ureae.
    • The patient's clinical presentation and outcomes are analyzed alongside existing literature.

    Findings:

    • Only 11 cases of Pasteurella ureae-associated illness have been documented, including meningitis, pneumonia, and hepatitis.
    • Common predisposing factors for Pasteurella ureae infection include skull fracture, alcoholism, and liver disease.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the known spectrum of Pasteurella ureae-related diseases.
    • Highlights the importance of considering Pasteurella ureae in specific patient populations with predisposing conditions.
