Rare infantile sepsis and meningitis caused by Pasteurella multocida: A case report
This case report highlights a rare instance of Pasteurella multocida meningitis in a 2-month-old infant, complicated by subdural empyema. The pathogen was identified using next-generation sequencing (NGS), despite negative bacterial cultures, underscoring the diagnostic challenges. The strain was predicted to be resistant to meropenem and ampicillin, necessitating a tailored treatment approach. The strain was likely transmitted through a neighbor's dog, emphasizing the complexity of P. multocida transmission. This case underscores the importance of advanced diagnostic techniques and personalized therapy for managing rare, antibiotic-resistant infections.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Infection and Public Health, first official journal of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences and the Saudi Association for Public Health, aims to be the foremost scientific, peer-reviewed journal encompassing infection prevention and control, microbiology, infectious diseases, public health and the application of healthcare epidemiology to the evaluation of health outcomes. The point of view of the journal is that infection and public health are closely intertwined and that advances in one area will have positive consequences on the other.
The journal will be useful to all health professionals who are partners in the management of patients with communicable diseases, keeping them up to date. The journal is proud to have an international and diverse editorial board that will assist and facilitate the publication of articles that reflect a global view on infection control and public health, as well as emphasizing our focus on supporting the needs of public health practitioners.
It is our aim to improve healthcare by reducing risk of infection and related adverse outcomes by critical review, selection, and dissemination of new and relevant information in the field of infection control, public health and infectious diseases in all healthcare settings and the community.
