RESUMEN
ABSTRACT: Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a bacteria commonly found in the normal oral cavity of dogs that can cause bacteremia in immunocompromised patients following a dog bite. This case describes sepsis and disseminated intravascular coagulation associated with C. canimorsus in a patient with a history of alcohol abuse. Clinicians must be alert to the risk factors for this infection and provide appropriate prophylaxis following dog bites.
