Organic acid disorders

Hypocarnitinemia in disorders of organic acid metabolism.

The patient was treated with oxytetracycline and metronidazole (there was no history of recent use of either ampicillin or augmentin). The infected ulcer improved and six days later the Enterobacter cloacae could no longer be isolated. The strain was sensitive in vitro to tetracycline. This case shows that an augmentinresistant organism can be sensitive to ampicillin. Isolates should therefore ...

Acid-Base Disorders

Both an arterial blood gas and a basic metabolic panel are necessary to determine a patient’s acid-base status. Analysis of a patient’s acid-base disorder includes identification of the primary disorder, calculation of the anion gap (AG), evaluation for the presence of excess acid or base, comparison of the expected and actual compensation, and explanation of the cause of each identified acid-b...
