ON PASTEURELIA PSEUDOTUBERCULOSIS-INFECTIONS OF MAN,

Abstract

Following a review on the literature a report is given on 9 clinical cases (one questionable case) due to infection by Pasteurella pseudotuberculosis. Eight cases were confirmed serologically and occurred as a benign form under the clinical picture of an appendicitis (seven cases) and gastroenteritis (one case). Seven cases were caused by type I and one case by type V. In one case the causative microorganism was isolated from an excised mesenterial lymph node. The possible bacteriological and serological methods for the diagnosis, the problems connected with the diagnosis and the importance of the infection of human beings by Pasteurella pseudotuberculosis are discussed.
