We report a case of\n Pasteurella multocida<\/jats:italic>\n infection from cat bites leading to endocarditis and subsequent aortic valve replacement.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n PRESENTATION OF CASE:<\/jats:title>\n \n A 70-year-old male was admitted because of fever, tachycardia, and malaise. He had a history of alcohol abuse and was living alone with a cat in a rural area. A sepsis of unknown origin was suspected, and intravenous treatment with gentamicin and cefotaxime was initiated. Blood cultures yielded\n Pasteurella multocida<\/jats:italic>\n , and the patient history revealed repeated cat bites. After four days, the patient was discharged with oral penicillin V treatment. Two weeks later, the patient returned with fever and a new systolic murmur. An aortic valve endocarditis was diagnosed, and it became clear that the patient had not completed the prescribed penicillin V treatment. The patient underwent a biological aortic valve replacement with debridement of an annular abscess, and the postoperative course was uneventful.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n DISCUSSION:<\/jats:title>\n \n Endocarditis due to\n Pasteurella<\/jats:italic>\n is extremely rare, and there are only a few reports in the literature. Predisposing factors in the present case were alcohol abuse and reduced compliance to treatment.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n Cat bites are often deep, and in rare circumstances can lead to life-threatening endocarditis. Proper surgical revision, antibiotic treatment, and patient compliance are necessary components in patient care to avoid this complication.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Highlights<\/jats:title>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2016.05.021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,20]],"date-time":"2016-05-20T18:50:20Z","timestamp":1463770220000},"page":"91-93","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["An angry cat causing Pasteurella multocida endocarditis and aortic valve replacement\u2014A case report"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Anders","family":"Ahlsson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00d6rjan","family":"Friberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"K\u00e4llman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-25-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2369","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehp285","article-title":"Guidelines on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infective endocarditis (new version 2009): the task force on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infective endocarditis of the European society of cardiology (ESC)","volume":"30","author":"Habib","year":"2009","journal-title":"Eur.
