Introduction: Bordetella bronchiseptica, a Gram-negative coccobacillus, studied for its role in Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease and porcine atrophic rhinitis. It is an opportunistic pathogen with few reported cases of immunocompetent infection.

Aims: We will describe the demographic, clinical, radiological, diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics of a rare zoonosis in the literature, and outcomes.

Case: A 59 year old patient had presented due to non-resolution of her chronic productive cough. Bronchoscopy revealed Bordetella bronchiseptica, her history of animal exposure was elucidated.

Conclusion: The majority of patients with this infection are HIV+ with low CD4 counts. Consolidations are the most common finding on imaging. Usually diagnosed by sputum culture and commonly treated by β-lactams. Our case shares significant overlap with the commonly found characteristics from the literature, and recovered. It is always important to consider zoonoses in the history-taking of immunocompromised and, even in immunocompetent patients.
