Effectiveness of a Double-Carbapenem Regimen in a KPC-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Infection in an Immunocompromised Patient. Microbial drug resistance (Larchmont, N.Y.), 2018, Volume: 24, Issue:2 The progressive increase of infections produced by extensively drug-resistant carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (XDR-CPKP) represents an important threat to public health. Unfortunately, optimal therapeutic options are scarce. Retrospective studies have recommended combined therapy with more than one antibiotic and, more recently, a double-carbapenem regimen has been reported to be an effective alternative therapy. Here, we describe an episode of sepsis in an immunocompromised patient after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, caused by an XDR-CPKP. Several in vitro synergy tests revealed a synergistic effect combining ertapenem and meropenem, which were used as combination therapy achieving clinical and microbiological success. Topics: Adult; Anti-Bacterial Agents; Antineoplastic Combined Chemotherapy Protocols; beta-Lactams; Drug Combinations; Ertapenem; Female; Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation; Humans; Immunocompromised Host; Klebsiella Infections; Klebsiella pneumoniae; Meropenem; Sarcoma, Myeloid; Sepsis; Thienamycins; Transplantation, Homologous; Treatment Outcome	2018
Necrotic intramuscular chloroma with infection: magnetic resonance imaging features. Japanese journal of radiology, 2011, Volume: 29, Issue:10 We recently experienced the case of an intramuscular chloroma with infection in a 7-year-old boy diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed that the lesion mimicked an abscess, but diffusion-weighted imaging showed no diffusion restriction. These results suggested that the interior cystic portion was serous. On histopathological findings, a chloroma was diagnosed on the wall of a mass. Culture of the interior fluid revealed that Klebsiella pneumoniae was present. MRI differentiation is difficult even with diffusion-weighted images.
