Abstract

Carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae is an emerging threat worldwide. The appropriate therapy for infections due to these multidrug-resistant pathogens is not well defined and depends upon the susceptibilities of individual isolates, and the choices are often severely limited. We report a case of a 8-year-old male child with ARDS with left-sided tubercular pleural effusion who developed ventilator-associated pneumonia due to multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae treated successfully with a regimen comprising a combination of colistin and double carbapenem.
Keywords: double carbapenem; ventilator-associated pneumonia; Klebsiella pneumoniae double carbapenem; ventilator-associated pneumonia; Klebsiella pneumoniae
