Pasteurella species is a common bacteria in oral cavity of dogs or other animals, but it can causealso zoonotic infections in humans. Human Pasteurella infections usually manifest as a local skin or soft tissue infection following an animal bite or scratch. Systemic infections are less common and they are usually limited to newbornes and elderly patients, or those who have serious underlying disorders or who are immunocompromized. We report a case of Pasteurella dagmatis related flegmona in patient with recently diagnosed heart failure,a case of sepsis in a healthy middle-aged woman with discrete panaritium inflicted by a pet dog, and sepsis in a senior male with crural wound caused by dog.

Keywords: Pasteurella, sepsis, panaritium, phlegmona
