Abstract:
Bite infections caused by Capnocytophaga canimorsus are rare. Severe infections are mostly reported in the presence of predisposing conditions (potus, splenectomy, immunodeficiency). We describe the case of a 57-year-old man who developed sepsis associated with purpura secondary to cutaneous vasculitis. The blood cultures were positive for C. canimorsus. They have not been documented previous bite injury and immunodeficiency or any other typical predisposition.
