Abstract [en]

We report a sudden increase in the number of cases of C. canimorsus bacteremia during 3 months in 2022 at Östersund Hospital, Sweden. Prior to these cases, the most recent one in the region occurred in 2015. Among the five cases, one suffered from meningitis and one was diagnosed as endocarditis. Dog contact was present in all cases, although dog bites could only be verified in two. Improved diagnostics could not be an explanation to the surge, since the analysis method for blood culture had been the same since 2015. No corresponding increase was noted nationally, according to the Public Health Agency of Sweden. The isolates have been included in the ongoing global study with the aim to explore Capnocytophaga in humans and animals using comparative genomics and genome wide association studies. The study is supported by several ESCMID (European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases) study groups.

Abstract [sv]

Sepsis orsakad av Capnocytophaga canimorsus  förekommer även hos individer som inte är immunsup­primerade. Majoriteten av dem som drabbas har nyligen haft kontakt med hund, men hundbett är inte nödvändigt. Blododlingar före antibiotikabehandling är avgörande för diagnostiken. Förstahandsbehandling vid hundbett är cefotaxim vid allvarlig infektion och amoxicillin–klavulansyra vid peroral behandling. C canimorsus är inte känslig för flukloxacillin. Rapporteringssystemet Svebar kan ge information om förekomsten av olika patogener på de mikrobiologiska laboratorierna.
