Pasteurella Endocarditis: A Case Report and Statistical Analysis of the Literature

Table 1

Summary of the reviewed articles. The “Year” category lists the year of patient presentation, not of the associated publication; “Age” is likewise the patient’s age at presentation. Note that due to varying and unreliable verification techniques, identifications of Pasteurella species other than multocida should be doubted beyond their identity as non-multocida Pasteurella spp. The “Wound” category can relate directly to the “Exposure” category (e.g., the 1998 Camou et al. [18] case is that of a cat bite to the calf) or be unrelated (e.g., the 2013 Mikaberidz et al. [19] case is that of a patient who lived with dogs and cats and had an unrelated sacral ulcer prior to presentation). “Cure” in the “Outcome” category is defined as complete resolution of all signs and symptoms of endocarditis.
