Cat induced Pasteurella multocida peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis: a case report and review of the literature

Patricia M Sol et al. Int J Hyg Environ Health. 2013 Mar.

Abstract

A 7-year-old girl treated with peritoneal dialysis developed a peritonitis due to Pasteurella multocida after physical contact of the domestic cat with the dialysis machine. Only 25 of such cases have been reported, mostly concerning adults. We report the third case involving a child, together with a literature review.
