Abstract

A rare case of fatal septicaemia after a dog bite in a previously healthy individual is presented and discussed. Capnocytophaga canimorsus (DF‐2 bacterium) was isolated from blood cultures. Our case shows the importance of immediate antibiotic treatment for all dog and cat bites, regardless of severity.
