Epiglottitis Caused by Pasteurella multocida: An Uncommon Presentation

<i>Pasteurella multocida</i> is commonly associated with skin and soft tissue infections after animal bites and is rarely associated with epiglottitis, which is a life-threatening condition. Here, we describe a patient with epiglottitis secondary to <i>Pasteurella</i> infection and bacteremia who required transnasal fiberoptic intubation and was treated with intravenous (IV) ampicillin-sulbactam, who responded well to the treatment with complete resolution of symptoms.

Abstract

<i>Pasteurella multocida</i> is commonly associated with skin and soft tissue infections after animal bites and is rarely associated with epiglottitis, which is a life-threatening condition. Here, we describe a patient with epiglottitis secondary to <i>Pasteurella</i> infection and bacteremia who required transnasal fiberoptic intubation and was treated with intravenous (IV) ampicillin-sulbactam, who responded well to the treatment with complete resolution of symptoms.
