In 1961, a patient died with a coagulopathy and renal cortical necrosis after a dog bite but without any organism being cultured (2). Because of the association with dog bites, Butler and associates have suggested that infection with the unidentified rod is zoonotic. We are reporting fatal sepsis with aBacteroidesspecies accompanied by coagulopathy and renal thrombotic microangiopathy after a dog bite....References1.
