Abstract
Bacteremic pasteurellosis is an uncommon form of Pasteurella multocida infection, usually involved in local infections. This systemic infection often occurs in immuno-compromised patient such as cirrhotic or alcoholic patients, with a high mortality rate (up to 60%). Septic shock may occur and neurological disorders or coma are frequent. We report such a case. Treatment associated local care, antibiotics (beta-lactam antibiotics plus fluoroquinolone) during 14 days and resuscitation of septic shock. Owing these therapies, septic shock was successfully treated without complications.
