RESUMO
Meningitis developed after a routine myelogram in a healthy patient. When Capnocytophaga canimorsus was identified, investigations revealed that the patient, the radiologist, and the staff were all dog owners. Multiple deviations from recommended practices in radiology were identified and corrected. The investigation of an unusual sentinel event allowed multiple interventions to be implemented simultaneously, with resultant risk reduction for subsequent radiologic procedures.
