Cat scratch‐induced Pasteurella multocida necrotizing cellulitis in a dog

Abstract: Complications of cat bite-associated P. multocida infections in humans are well known. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first documentation of P. multocida necrotizing cellulitis in a dog following a cat scratch wound. This case highlights the rapidity and severity of P. multocida cellulitis, if not recognized and treated early. Veterinarians should include P. multocida in the differential diagnosis of any local wound infection following a cat scratch.

“…In the case presented here, in addition to S. canis, P. multocida and S. pseudintermedius were also isolated from both the oronasal fi stula and the lungs. Both bacteria are also commensals in dogs, may cause severe soft tissue monoinfections including NF, but reports on this are rare [15,16]. The exact role of the three bacterial species isolated from our patient is not clear, but their synergistic activity is possible, resulting in a rapidly progressing disease.…”

“…Em humanos, arranhões e mordidas de gato podem estar associadas ao desenvolvimento de celulite, que pode evoluir ou não para FN, ou até mesmo osteomielite, septicemia e óbito, principalmente em situações de imunossupressão e o agente envolvido nestas infecções é a Pasteurella multocida em mais de 50% dos casos (GINSBERG, 1981;WEBER et al, 1984;GOLDSTEIN, 1992;HAMAMOTO et al, 1995;MORRIS, 2003;CHANG et al, 2007;FRESHWATER, 2008;STILLAERT et al, 2010;BANOVIC et al, 2013).

“…Na literatura consultada, os relatos de FN em cães são dos últimos 23 anos, em 13 artigos, com 15 casos descritos detalhadamente, como demonstrado nos quadros 01 à 04 resume os dados sobre FN em cães descritos na literatura (JENKINS et al, 2001;NAIDOO et al, 2005;WORTH et al,2005;KULENDRA;CORR., 2008;WEESE et al, 2009;CSISZER et al, 2010;PLAVEC et al, 2011;MAYER et al, 2012;JANOS et al, 2012;ABMA et al, 2013;BANOVIC et al, 2013;MAGUIRE et al, 2015;WIETHUCHTER et al, 2015).…”
