Abstract
Pasteurella multocida is frequently responsible for infections in man due to wounds inflicted by animals (generally cats or dogs). However, the development of septic arthritis is a rare complication. We report 4 cases of Pasteurella multocida septic arthritis with demonstration of the organism in the joint in each case. Two cases presented with monoarthritis (sternoclavicular joint and wrist) and 2 cases had polyarticular involvement from the outset.
