[Post-traumatic meningitis due to Pasteurella multocida]. 1976

G Schreckenbach, and F B Spencker

The clinical data of a 14-year old female patient with posttraumatic meningitis by Pasteurella multocida are reported. The behaviour of the isolated strain is recorded in cultural and biochemical aspect as well as in animal experiment. The importance of the infection with Pasteurella multocida is lined out and the possible origin of the disease in the reported case is discussed. Finally some problems of special bacteriological diagnosis are explained and hints are given in this respect.
