Lung Abscess Due To Pasteurella Multocida: Report of a Diabetic Case With No Underlying Lung Disease

We reported a case of lung abscess due to P. multocida in a 56 years old diabetic man who had a dog but no bites or scratches. He was a current smoker with no underlying lung disease. This report suggests that P. multocida may cause lung abscess in diabetic patients and smoking might be considered as a predisposing factor in pet owners.
