Abstract
Pasteurella multocida is often found in local infections after animal bites. Septic conditions however are rare. A case of late infection by P. multocida at the site of the osteosynthesis 1 year after a primarily healed pertrochanteric fracture is described. The patient had a cat. After extraction of the plate and screws and treatment with penicillin the infection healed uneventfully.Keywords
