Previously reported infections associated with <jats:italic>P. multocida<\/jats:italic> have often been linked to contact with cats, dogs, and other animals. Cases of systemic multiple-site infections following <jats:italic>P. multocida<\/jats:italic> infection are rare. This case study presents a 49-year-old middle-aged man with post-hepatitis B cirrhosis and no history of animal contact. The patient was admitted with symptoms of fever accompanied by diarrhea, abdominal distension, and cough. Blood tests showed elevated levels of CRP, PCT, and IL-6, and blood culture revealed the growth of <jats:italic>P. multocida<\/jats:italic>. CT scans revealed a large amount of abdominal effusion, a small amount of pleural effusion, and pulmonary infection foci. The patient\u2019s condition improved after successive administration of ceftriaxone and levofloxacin to fight the infection, and abdominal puncture and drainage. Multiple-site infections caused by <jats:italic>P. multocida<\/jats:italic> are rarely encountered in patients with liver cirrhosis but without animal contact, which could be regarded as serious conditions warranting careful attention in terms of clinical diagnosis and treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcimb.2023.1267941","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,26]],"date-time":"2023-09-26T14:04:36Z","timestamp":1695737076000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Bloodstream infection, peritonitis, and pneumonia caused by Pasteurella multocida in a patient with liver cirrhosis despite no animal contact: case report and literature review"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Bin","family":"Lu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xuewen","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tinghua","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kangfei","family":"Shan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sipei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yunzhen","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinling","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e204","DOI":"10.1097\/MJT.0b013e3182811ab1","article-title":"Empyema due to severe Pasteurella multocida treated with quinolone: a case report","volume":"21","author":"Abdelkarim","year":"2014","journal-title":"Am.
