RESUMO
Clostridium pseudotetanicum only once previously has been identified as causing disease. Pasteurella multocida has been identified only three times as the cause of purulent conjunctivitis. A very debilitated patient had C. pseudotetanicum bacteremia and P. multocida conjunctivitis from which she recovered only to die of a nosocomial Staphylococcus epidermidis septicemia, originating in a site for the administration of intravenous fluids.
