Acute cholecystitis secondary to dog bite
ConclusionWe strongly advocate blood cultures in patients who present with abdominal pain and sepsis, particularly when they have a recent history of animal bite. In cases of cholecystitis secondary to C. canimorsus it may be necessary to monitor the patient’s progress more closely and treat with prolonged targeted antibiotic therapy.
