Pasteurella multocida bacteremia associated with peritonitis and cirrhosis. 1977

J A Jacobson, and P Miner, and O Duffy

Pasteurella multocida has been the etiologic agent in at least three cases of "spontaneous" bacterial peritonitis (SBP). We report another patient with P. multocida bacteremia and SBP and suggest that there may be more than a chance association between cirrhotic liver disease and this unusual organism which rarely causes sepsis in man.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008103 Liver Cirrhosis Liver disease in which the normal microcirculation, the gross vascular anatomy, and the hepatic architecture have been variably destroyed and altered with fibrous septa surrounding regenerated or regenerating parenchymal nodules.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010326 Pasteurella Infections Infections with bacteria of the genus PASTEURELLA. Pasteurellosis,Infections, Pasteurella,Infection, Pasteurella,Pasteurella Infection,Pasteurelloses
D010538 Peritonitis INFLAMMATION of the PERITONEUM lining the ABDOMINAL CAVITY as the result of infectious, autoimmune, or chemical processes. Primary peritonitis is due to infection of the PERITONEAL CAVITY via hematogenous or lymphatic spread and without intra-abdominal source. Secondary peritonitis arises from the ABDOMINAL CAVITY itself through RUPTURE or ABSCESS of intra-abdominal organs.

D018805 Sepsis Systemic inflammatory response syndrome with a proven or suspected infectious etiology. When sepsis is associated with organ dysfunction distant from the site of infection, it is called severe sepsis. When sepsis is accompanied by HYPOTENSION despite adequate fluid infusion, it is called SEPTIC SHOCK.
