- A 30-year-old rancher was admitted to a hospital on February 12 because of a two-day history of headache, chills, and 40 degree Celsius fever. Before he was admitted, he began vomiting. During his admission it was found out that he has an orange-sized swelling in the left axilla. A laboratory analysis was administered using lymph-node aspirate and smear of peripheral blood, the result was reported to contain gram-positive cocci, often in pairs. Due to this situation he was given cefoxitin. The patient was acutely ill. Within a few hours of admission, he had a cardiopulmonary arrest. During resuscitation efforts, he vomited and aspirated his vomitus; a chest X-ray showed bilateral infiltrate. The patient was also bled from several body sites. Six hours after admission the patient died. Based on data given, the patient had trapped, killed, and skinned 3 kit foxes, 4 coyotes, and 1 bobcat.
