title: Pasteurella multocida and intrauterine device: a woman and her pets.
abstract: Human infections with Pasteurella multocida are frequently attributed to transmission from animals. Although some cases of prosthetic implant infections have been described few gynecological cases have been reported. We describe a case of intrauterine device endometritis due to P. multocida.
