Pasteurellahas also been reported as a rare cause of endocarditis, with only 35 prior cases of definite Pasteurellaendocarditis in the literature. Here, we present a case of Pasteurella multocidaendocarditis treated successfully with surgery and antibiosis, as well as a review of the literature with statistical analysis of correlations between risk factors and clinical outcomes, as well as between treatment choices and clinical outcomes. Despite the small sample size, our analysis indicates a statistically significant correlation between comorbid liver disease and mortality, as well as a significant negative correlation between surgical treatment and mortality. This analysis implies a need for surgical management of endocarditis due to Pasteurellaspecies and for more aggressive management of Pasteurellaendocarditis in the setting of comorbid liver disease.
