Pasteurella multocida caused bloodstream infection and meningitis after sinus surgery. Prompt antibiotic treatment led to full recovery, highlighting the importance of timely intervention for this zoonotic pathogen.

Area of Science:

Infectious Diseases
Microbiology
Surgical Infections

Background:

Elective sinus surgery can present risks for post-operative complications.
Certain bacterial species, like Pasteurella multocida, can cause severe infections.

Observation:

A patient developed Pasteurella multocida bacteraemia and meningitis following elective sinus surgery.
The patient had recent close contact with dogs, a known reservoir for this bacterium.

Findings:

The infection was successfully treated with appropriate antimicrobial drugs.
The patient achieved a complete recovery from both bacteraemia and meningitis.

Implications:

This case underscores the potential for zoonotic transmission of Pasteurella multocida to humans.
