title: [Uncommon site of Bergeyella zoohelcum. Apropos of a case].
abstract: Bergeyella zoohelcum is a Gram negative bacillus which can be found in several pathological localizations in man: leg abscesses, septicemia, meningitis. We observed a case of community-acquired pneumonia caused by Bergeyella zoohelcum. On history taking it was found that the patient was exposed to a dog which may have been the carrier of the Gram negative bacilli. The clinical course was long, one year, with persistent excavation.
