Campylobacter Fetus Spp. Fetusa Bağlı Bakteriyemi Olgusu Ve Laboratuvar Tanıda Gram Boyamanın Önemi

Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus immün sistemin zay f oldu u ki ilerde öncelikle bakteriyemi ve ba rsak d enfeksiyonlarla ili kilidir. Bakteriyemi; septik abortus, septik artrit, apse, menenjit, endokardit, mikotik anevrizma, trombo ebit, peritonit ve salpenjit gibi sistemik komplikasyonlara neden olabilir. Bu çal mada, 92 ya ndaki kronik pyelonefrite sekonder kronik böbrek hastal olan bir erkek hastada muhtemelen gastroenterit ile ba lay p bakteriyemi ile seyreden bir C. fetus subsp. fetus enfeksiyonu olgusu ve laboratuvar tan da kan kültürlerinde Gram boyaman n önemi bildirilmi tir. Kan kültüründen izole edilen C. fetus. subsp. fetus’un E-Test ile antibiyotik duyarl l k testi yap lm ; piperasilin ile piperasilin/tazobaktama dirençli, ampisilin, sefepim, imipenem, meropenem, klaritromisin, levo oksasin, azitromisin, klindamisin, eritromisin, gentamisin ve sipro oksasine duyarl bulunmu tur. Hastan n tedavisinde 2x200 mg sipro oksasilin kullan lm t r

A Case Of Bacteremia Due To Campylobacter Fetus Subsp. Fetus and Importance Of Gram Stain At Laboratory Diagnosis

Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus is related with bacteriemia and extraintestinal system infections at immunode cient patients. Bacteriemia may cause systemic complications like septic abortus, septic arthritis, abscess, menengitidis, endocarditis, micotic aneurisym, trombophlebitis, peritonitis and salphengitis. In this case report, a 92 years old male patient with secondary chronic renal failure due to chronic pylenophritis developed bacteriemia possibly after a gastrointestinal infection caused by Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus and importance of Gram stain at laboratory diagnosis by blood cultures were discussed. Antibacterial susceptibility of Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus isolated from blood culture was determined using E-Test and was found resistant to piperacillin and piperacillin/tazobactam and sensitive to ampicilline, cephepime, imipenem, meropenem, klaritromicin, levo oxacin, azithromycine, erythromycin, gentamicin and cipro oxacin. 2x200 mg of cipro oxacin was used for the treatment of the patient
