A Fatal Case of Providencia Sepsis
Journal Title: Urology and Andrology – Open Journal - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The risk of acquisition of multi-drug resistance remains a major hurdle in management of patients with sepsis. Owing to limitation in availability of antibiotics and increasing surge of multi-drug resistant organisms, the major aim still remains at prevention of the growth of organism. Various guidelines prevent against the routine change of urinary catheter at fixed interval unless there are clinical predictors of infection or obstruction. But there are at times, when despite all the measures, once infection occur, it may be resistant to all the available antibiotics, as had been seen in our case. This case report highlights yet another instance of multi-drug resistance organism, where the importance of preventive measures needs to be over emphasized.
