Abstract
Peritonitis in humans caused by Pasteurella multocida is uncommon. A 6 5-year-old man with a history of ventral hernia had peritonitis, most probably due to an incarcerated ventral hernia. Cultures of peritoneal fluid grew P. multocida. As far as we know, this patient is the first reported case of P. multocida peritonitis associated with strangulate d small-bowel obstruction.
