Late postoperative infection caused by Pasteurella multocida

G Blomgren, A S Malmborg

    Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Late Pasteurella multocida infection occurred at osteosynthesis hardware one year after a hip fracture. Prompt treatment with hardware removal and antibiotics led to a full recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Bacteriology

    Background:

    • Pasteurella multocida is a common bacterium typically causing localized infections following animal bites.
    • Septic complications arising from P. multocida infections are considered rare in clinical practice.

    Observation:

    • A rare case of late-onset P. multocida infection is presented.
    • The infection manifested at the osteosynthesis site, one year post-surgery for a pertrochanteric fracture.

    Findings:

    • The patient, a cat owner, developed a P. multocida infection at the internal fixation site.
    • Surgical removal of the plate and screws, coupled with penicillin treatment, resulted in the successful resolution of the infection.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for rare late-stage P. multocida osteomyelitis, even after initial fracture healing.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial therapy, alongside hardware management, are crucial for treating such infections.
