Abstract
<em>Pasteurella multocid</em>a, a zoonotic agent transmitted by canines and felines, has been very rarely reported to cause bacterial peritonitis in humans. <em>Pasteurella multocida</em> peritonitis is associated with high mortality even with appropriate treatment, therefore its early recognition is essential. We report a case of <em>Pasteurella multocida</em> peritonitis following cat scratch in a patient with Child Pugh Class C alcoholic cirrhosis, culminating in multiple organ failure and death.
