NDM-1 polymicrobial infections including Vibrio cholerae

摘要

In April, 2011, a 49-year-old British man was admitted to our hospital directly from a flight home from India. He presented with extensive electrical burns on his face, neck, left arm, leg, soles, and chest, from an accident in a faulty shower 4 days before while in Bihar, India. He had received treatment in two hospitals, and had received unknown antibiotics. On presentation he had raised inflammatory markers, hypotension, and acute renal failure, and required immediate resuscitation and intensive care. He was admitted to the burns unit, where he was placed in isolation. Blood cultures and screening swabs from all wounds were taken and he was given intravenous meropenem.
