Abstract

The Gram-negative rod DF-2 was isolated from blood-cultures, the blood sample taken 3 days after death from a 65-year-old woman who had been bitten in her finger by her dog. At the medico-legal external examination marbling of the skin was found, suggesting septicemia. In persons found dead with a history of dog exposition and with no other obvious cause of death, examination for DF-2 should be performed.
