Abstract

The case of a 43 year-old healthy male with Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia causing septic shock and multiorgan failure within 48 hours of admission is presented. The patient had systemic symptoms and in the chest x-ray, minimal infiltration on the left upper zone was observed. After 36 hours of admission pneumonic infiltration involved all the left lung and the patient was admitted to the intensive care unit for invasive mechanical ventilatory support. Despite appropriate antibiotherapy and supportive therapy, the patient developed pancytopenia, septic shock and multiorgan failure and died 48 hours after admission. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from the sputum, blood and tracheal aspirate cultures. This case is presented because Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia with fulminant fatal progression in a healthy adult without immunedeficiency, concomitant disease or risk factor is very rarely seen in the literature.

Özet

Pseudomonas aeruginosa pnömonisine bağlı olarak 48 saat içinde septik şok ve çoklu organ yetmezliği gelişen 43 yaşında sağlıklı erkek olgu sunulmuştur. Sistemik semptomlarla başvuran olguda akciğer grafisinde sol üst zondaki minimal lezyonun 36 saat sonra sol akciğerin tamamını kapladığı gözlendi. Hasta solunum yetmezliği nedeniyle invaziv mekanik ventilasyon desteği için yoğun bakım ünitesine alındı. Uygun antibiyotik ve destek tedavisine rağmen hastada pansitopeni, septik şok ve çoklu organ yetmezliği gelişti ve hasta başvurusundan yaklaşık 48 sonra kaybedildi. Hastanın balgam, kan ve trakeal aspirat kültürlerinde Pseudomonas aeruginosa üredi. Herhangi bir ek hastalık, immun sistem defekti ya da risk faktörü tespit edilemeyen sağlıklı olguda Pseudomonas aeruginosa pnömonisinin neden olduğu fulminan fatal seyir literatürde nadiren görülmesi nedeniyle sunuldu.
