But Manteufel was infected by the bacterium Capnocytophaga canimorsus presumably contracted by the saliva of his dog

A few days after being admitted to the hospital, his two feet were had to be amputated, then during a second operation his legs were removed with the lens

A third operation was to cut a part of his hands and another, his forearms.
