[Pasteurella multocida as a cause of septic arthritis in the elderly]
Abstract
Pasteurella multocida as cause of septic arthritis was only reported in patients with underlying joint damage or altered systemic host defense. We report a case of septic arthritis of the shoulder in a 92-year-old, previously healthy woman. It is concluded that Pasteurella multocida can cause septic arthritis in aged persons without precedent joint damage.
