Cat-induced Pasteurella multocida peritonitis in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis

Pasteurella multocida is a zoonotic pathogen found in the oral cavities of both domestic and wild animals. Although P. multocida has been involved in a wide range of human diseases, only a limited number of studies on P. multocida peritonitis in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) had been...

description Pasteurella multocida is a zoonotic pathogen found in the oral cavities of both domestic and wild animals. Although P. multocida has been involved in a wide range of human diseases, only a limited number of studies on P. multocida peritonitis in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) had been carried out. We herein present the case of P. multocida peritonitis in a patient undergoing continuous ambulatory PD, which is believed to have resulted from contact with cats. We suggest that patients undergoing PD and having domestic animals at home should be educated about the possible transmission of the infection from the animals; in addition, these patients should also maintain a high level of personal hygiene.
