Infective endocarditis due to Pasteurella dagmatis: case report and review.
We report a case of endocarditis due to Pasteurella dagmatis complicated by vertebral osteomyelitis in a 55-year-old former alcoholic woman. To our knowledge, this is the second report of endocarditis attributed to that organism in the English-language medical literature. Rare cases of endocarditis due to other Pasteurella species and their varied clinical features are summarized.
