A Rare Bacteraemia Agent in A Lung Cancer Patient; Leclercia Adecarboxylata

Year 2018, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 46 - 49, 30.04.2018

Abstract

Leclercia adecarboxylata is gram negative facultative anaerobe bacillus from the Enterobacteriaceae family and it is widely found in nature. It was isolated from blood, sputum, urine, peritoneal fl uid, synovial fl uid, gall bladder tissue and wound specimens of the patients. Bacteremia cases were also reported in premature newborns. In this case report, we present a case of bacteraemia which is caused by a very rare infection agent, L. adecarboxylata in a patient who had lung cancer and who recently received chemotherapy. A 54-year-old female patient was admitted to emergency ward with fever, chills, vomiting, and with the history of receiving chemotherapy four days before. On physical examination, there was no signifi cant clinical pathologic fi nding except for 39,4°C fever. Blood and tracheal aspirate samples were collected. On day 3 of the admission, positive signal for blood culture sample was received. The yielding bacterium was identifi ed as L. adecarboxylata by the mass spectrophotometer. The patient received ampicillin/sulbactam 4x2 gr/day intravenously. After 5 days of treatment, antibiotic therapy was revised as amoxicillin/clavulanic acid 2x1 gr/day PO. The patient’s fever decreased and she was discharged on the eighth day of her admission.

Akciğer Kanserli Hastada Nadir Bir Bakteriyemi Etkeni; Leclercia Adecarboxylata

Year 2018, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 46 - 49, 30.04.2018

Abstract

Leclercia adecarboxylata doğada yaygın olarak bulunan, Enterobacteriaceae familyasından fakültatif anaerop, gram negatif basildir. Hastaların kan, balgam, idrar, periton sıvısı, sinoviyal sıvı, safra kesesi dokusu ve yara örneklerinden izole edilmiştir. Prematüre yenidoğanlarda bakteriyemi olguları bildirilmiştir. Bu olgu sunumunda akciğer kanserli olduğu bilinen ve yakın zamanda kemoterapi alan bir hastada çok nadir görülen bir enfeksiyon etkeni olan L. adecarboxylata’nın etken olduğu bakteriyemi vakası sunulmuştur. Özgeçmişinde karaciğer metastazlı akciğer kanseri olduğu anlaşılan 54 yaşında kadın hasta; ateş, üşüme, titreme, kusma şikâyetleriyle acil servise başvurdu. Hastanın sorgulamasında 4 gün önce kemoterapi aldığı öğrenildi. Fizik muayenesinde 39,4°C ateşi dışında klinik bulgu saptanmayan hastadan kan kültürü ve trakeal aspirat kültürü için örnek alındı. Yatışının üçüncü günü kan kültüründe üreme sinyali alındı ve pasaj yapıldı. Saf bir şekilde üreyen bakterinin (VITEK® MS, bioMérieux, Fransa) ile identifi kasyonu yapıldı ve bakterinin L. adecarboxylata olduğu saptandı. Hastaya ampisilin/sulbaktam 4x2 gr/gün IV olarak başlandı ve 5 gün süreyle bu tedaviye devam edildi. Daha sonra oral tedaviye geçildi ve antibiyotik tedavisi amoksisilin/klavulanik asit 2x1 gr/gün PO şeklinde revize edildi. Hastanın ateşi düştü ve yatışının sekizinci günü taburcu edildi.
