Pasteurella multocida urinary tract infection in a patient with cervical cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction. Infections caused by Pasteurella species are commonly associated with contact with dogs and cats, typically involving bites and scratches, but casual contact with household pets can also be a risk factor. Urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by Pasteurella species is rare and a significant majority of cases have some known risk factor associated with an underlying chronic illness or structural and/or functional urological abnormality. Case presentation. Here, we present a case of a UTI due to Pasteurella multocida in a patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix who also had a household cat. Conclusion. Providers and laboratorians should be aware of risk factors associated with UTIs caused by Pasteurella species.
