title: Diabetes in patients with pasteurellosis.
abstract: From 1991 to 2003, 20 patients with pasteurellosis were admitted to our unit, of whom 2 died. They presented with cellulitis (n = 14), arthritis (n = 6), pneumonia (n = 3), subcutaneous abscess (n = 3), bursitis (n = 2), meningitis, otitis, sinusitis and uveitis. Underlying diseases included diabetes (n = 6) and malignancy (n = 5). Diabetes could be a predisposing condition for pasteurellosis.
