Abstract

Metisiline dirençli Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), antibiyotik direnci nedeniyle tedavisi zor ve yüksek ölüm oranlarına sahip invaziv enfeksiyonlara neden olmaktadır. Sık hastaneye yatış, antibiyotik kullanımı, invaziv kateterler ve hemodiyaliz MRSA enfeksiyonları için risk faktörleridir. Burada, MRSA'nın etken olduğu pnömoni ve bakteriyemisi olan bir hemodiyaliz hastası bildirilmektedir. Hastada kateter giriş yerinde hassasiyet, laboratuvar değerlerinde akut faz reaktanlarında yükseklik ve akciğerde konsolidasyonlar saptanmıştır. Enfekte kateterin çekilmesi ve uygun antibiyotik tedavisi ile hastanın klinik ve laboratuvar bulgularında tam düzelme sağlanmıştır. Bu vaka, hemodiyaliz hastalarında kateter kaynaklı bakteriyemilerin metastatik enfeksiyonlara yol açabileceğini ve dikkatli bir tarama gerektirdiğini hatırlatmaktadır.

Metastatic Staphylococcus Aureus Infection in a Haemodialysis Patient

Abstract

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) causes invasive infections that are difficult to treat and associated with high mortality rates due to antibiotic resistance. Frequent hospital admissions, antibiotic use, invasive catheters, and hemodialysis are significant risk factors for MRSA infections. Here, we report a case of a hemodialysis patient with pneumonia and bacteremia caused by MRSA. The patient presented with tenderness at the catheter insertion site, elevated acute-phase reactants in laboratory tests, and lung consolidations. Removal of the infected catheter and administration of appropriate antibiotic therapy resulted in complete resolution of the patient's clinical symptoms and laboratory abnormalities. This case highlights the importance of recognizing that catheter-related bacteremia in hemodialysis patients can lead to metastatic infections and necessitates careful screening.
