Human pasteurellosis is a severe human infection that accounts for 20-30 human deaths annually worldwide. Mucous secretions derived from pets comprise the primary source of infection, which are transmitted through animal scratches or bites.
We describe a case of wound infection in an immunocompetent adult with a decubitus ulcer of the lower extremity. The organism was also isolated from an oral swab of the patient's dog with which he reported close contact. The patient had a favorable outcome following aggressive surgical debridement, antimicrobial treatment and subsequent wound care.
Our case illustrates that licking of open wound is an alternative source of infections by , and emphasizes the need for avoidance of wound contact with animals.
人类巴斯德氏菌病是一种严重的人类感染病，全球每年有20至30人因此死亡。宠物的黏液分泌物是主要感染源，通过动物抓伤或咬伤传播。
我们描述了一例免疫功能正常的成年患者下肢褥疮溃疡伤口感染的病例。该病原体也从与患者有密切接触的狗的口腔拭子中分离出来。患者在积极的手术清创、抗菌治疗及后续伤口护理后取得了良好的效果。
我们的病例表明，舔舐开放性伤口是感染的另一种来源，并强调了避免伤口与动物接触的必要性。
