“…In addition, many of the reported cases were in patients using cycling devices, reasons for which are not clear. 9,11 Van Langenhove et al analysed eight of the published cases of pasteurella PD peritonitis, 9 and found that all made a complete recovery, as did our patient. This is in marked contrast to patients who are bacteremic with Pasteurella spp., who have a mortality rate of up to 30%.…”

“…3,5-8 However, there are reports of pasteurella infection occurring without animal bites or scratches, and also of spontaneous pasteurella peritonitis in cirrhotic patients or those with a history of alcohol addiction. 9 The majority of reports of PD peritonitis describe infection with Pasteurella multocida subspecies multocida, however there is one case report of Pasteurella multocida subspecies dagmatis. 10 There is a suggestion that patients with pasteurella PD peritonitis were generally more symptomatic with fever, nausea, vomiting and severe abdominal pain, when compared to other cases of PD peritonitis.…”

It is likely that the infection resulted from a domestic cat, as there was evidence of a cat bite to the dialysis tubing in the period between the two episodes. Re-infection with two identical strains of pasteurella is more probable than relapse, for reasons discussed. Strict hygiene and avoiding contact between dialysis tubing and domestic animals must be emphasised to try to prevent pasteurella and other animal-associated infections in this already vulnerable population.

“…Pasteurella sepsis, however, is rare. The organism has been reported to cause peritonitis in patients with peritoneal dialysis catheters (20,21), pneumonia, and empyema in alcoholics and persons with diabetes (22,23), infection in patients with knee or hip replacements (24), and even meningitis (25,26).…”

Acute suppurative thyroiditis (AST) is an uncommon condition of the thyroid gland. Organisms of the staphylococcal and streptococcal species are the most commonly reported causative agents. Rarely, AST has been associated with transient hyperthyroidism. We report a unique case of AST that was caused by Pasteurella multocida and was associated with thyrotoxicosis in a previously healthy 51-year-old woman.

A patient on continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis for chronic kidney disease due to type 2 diabetes mellitus developed peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis induced by Pasteurella multocida that was isolated from a sample of dialysis effluent. The route of infection was unknown for this case; however, P. multocida was also isolated from a culture of a pharyngeal swab obtained from the patient's cat. There was no evidence that the cat had bitten and ruptured the peritoneal dialysis tubing or bags. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) showed that the P. multocida isolated from the patient was completely identical to the strain isolated from the domestic cat. As there is a rise in the pet-keeping population, an increase in zoonoses is to be expected. It is necessary to be carefully informed of hygiene rules in keeping pets because a pet may transmit zoonoses, even on casual contact.
