Pasteurella multocida infection of urinary tract in patient with ileal loop.
Pasteurella multocida infection in the ileal loop and in the pelvis of a hydronephrotic kidney of a patient whose other kidney had been removed at age six months was documented by the repeated isolation of this patthogen. Two episodes occurred, the first terminated after a dose of gentamicin and the other without chemotherapy. Since the patient prior to infection was in severe renal failure necessitating hemodialysis, the effect of this infection on renal function could not be ascertained. The probable source was a cat present in the household.
