Pasteurella multocida inhabits the upper respiratory tract of many animals. It can cause skin and soft tissue infections in humans, usually in association with animal bites. We present a case of a 66-year-old chemotherapy-induced immunocompromised patient with lung cancer, who was treated for pneumonia and septicaemia due to P. multocida. There was no anamnestic contact with animals, which underlines the fact that immunocompromised patients can suffer from serious systemic infections due to P. multocida - even with no known animal contact.
多杀巴斯德菌栖息于许多动物的上呼吸道。它可引起人类皮肤和软组织感染，通常与动物咬伤有关。我们报告一例66岁因化疗导致免疫功能低下的肺癌患者，该患者因多杀巴斯德菌感染而接受肺炎和败血症治疗。患者既往无动物接触史，这凸显了免疫功能低下患者即使无已知动物接触史也可能因多杀巴斯德菌而遭受严重全身感染这一事实。
