چکیده
A 25-year old female was admitted to our ICU in septic shock and multi-organ failure caused by ESBL-producing E. coli originating from the right renal pelvis. A 16-day treatment course of meropenem reversed the septic condition, but the infection recurred thereafter. The patient fully recovered after changing therapy to tigecycline.

متن کاملESBL E. coli Urosepsis Resulting in Endogenous Panophthalmitis Requiring Evisceration of the Eye in a Diabetic Patient
A primary infection in a remote site resulting in vision threatening complications like panophthalmitis in a person who is not immune-compromised is rare. We report a case of endogenous bilateral bacterial endophthalmitis progressing into panophthalmitis in one eye requiring evisceration of that eye. A patient admitted with severe ESBL E. coli urosepsis was effectively treated with source contr...
