  • Zaporeden potek okužb z različnimi povzročitelji pri 76-letni bolnici = Successive infection with different agents in 76-years old patient
    Bedernjak-Bajuk, Nataša
    Background. A case comprising six successive infections in period lasting fromSeptember 12, 1999 to November 23, 1999 in 76 years old female is presented. The etiological agents were confirmed ... in/with the firstfour infections but with the last two the purulent meningitis and septic shock infection, blood and liquor cultures were negative. We presume that this was caused by antibiotic therapy before her second admission in the hospital and because of intensive antibiotic therapy of purulent meningitis. The first fiveinfections were successfully treated: enteritis caused by Clostridium difficile, sepsis caused by Salmonella enteritidis, candidiasis that appeared during the therapy of both sepsis, Campylobacter jejuni infection and purulentmeningitis. The number of leukocytes and granulocytes fell under the normal values in all infections and during the recovery their increase could be observed. The patient died in septic shock, with acute renal failure, with bleedings in the lung in the skin, in the urinary tract and in the brain. Conclusions. The leukopenia and the granulocytopenia are themselves the signs of serious infections. They accelerate the appearance of new infections and they reduce the success of therapy. The expected mortality total rate for thissix infections is very high. The massive bleedings in the brain are lethal.
