説明
An 80-year-old blind man with lepromatous leprosy suffered from right femoral neck and humeral neck fractures on July 9, 1993. Because of fever (38.6°C), difficult expectoration and diffuse bilateral perihilar infiltrates with consolidation in the left lower lung field on his chest radiograph, severe pneumonia was diagnosed. With intravenous hyperalimentation, imipenem/cilastatin (IPM/CS), ceftazidime, minocycline, gentamicin (GM), and human immunoglobulin were administrated. On July 29, hip screw-plate fixation was done. Citrobacter freundii was isolated from the sputum and its susceptibility was IPM/CS+, GM3+. Multi-drug therapy with GM and other antibiotics improved the patients' condition, but Citrobacter freundii were still detected and 43 days of medication were needed. According to a report by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 1992, the resistance rate of IPM/CS against Citrobacter freundii is only 0.7%, and IPM/CS is more effective than β-Lactams. This is a very rare case of severe pneumonia in an elderly patient caused by Citrobacter freundii that was suspected to have low susceptibility to IPM/CS.
