A 61 year-old male who had undergone surgical repair of a type IV thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm presented with left flank pain and raised inflammatory markers following graft implantation. CT scanning revealed a left psoas fluid collection. Graft infection was diagnosed. A radio-guided drainage and conservative management, with irrigation drain placement was undertaken with preservation of the aortic graft. There was no evidence of recurrent infection after follow-up at 34 months. Aortic endograft infection may be managed by surgical or radio-guided drainage, antibiotic irrigation of the graft and systemic antibiotic therapy without graft removal.展开更多
目的分析临床分离的纹带棒状杆菌的药敏试验结果及其对临床常用抗生素的最低抑菌浓度(MIC)的分布情况。方法纹带棒状杆菌由RapID CB Plus System鉴定,药敏采用琼脂平板稀释法。结果万古霉素、替考拉宁和亚胺培南对纹带棒状杆菌90%的MIC(...目的分析临床分离的纹带棒状杆菌的药敏试验结果及其对临床常用抗生素的最低抑菌浓度(MIC)的分布情况。方法纹带棒状杆菌由RapID CB Plus System鉴定,药敏采用琼脂平板稀释法。结果万古霉素、替考拉宁和亚胺培南对纹带棒状杆菌90%的MIC(MIC90)≤0.5μg/mL,而其他几种抗生素的MIC90≥8μg/mL。结论纹带棒状杆菌对万古霉素、替考拉宁和亚胺培南显示出较稳定的敏感性,但其他几种抗生素的敏感性不确定,药敏试验有助于临床选择最佳的抗生素治疗该类细菌的感染。展开更多
