  • Title: Pasteurella ureae septicaemia. A case report.
    Author: Maritz FJ, Franco MM, Swart WH.
    Journal: S Afr Med J; 1981 Jan 10; 59(2):53-4. PubMed ID: 7455832.
    Abstract:
    A 19-year-old man was admitted with haematemesis and over the next 24 hours developed a bronchopneumonia and septicaemia. Three blood cultures yielded a growth of Pasteurella ureae. An autopsy revealed liver cirrhosis and bleeding oesophageal varices. Past. ureae has been isolated from cases of sinusitis and chronic lung disease but is an extremely rare cause of meningitis and septicaemia. This report describes the second documented case of Past. ureae septicaemia in an adult and the literature is briefly reviewed.
