A Case of Septic Pulmonary Embolism Caused by Pyelonephritis With Klebsiella pneumoniae in a Patient With Poorly Controlled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Curēus 2023 March
Septic pulmonary embolism (SPE) is caused by the microbe that is responsible for any clinical condition that may include urinary tract infections as in this case. We report a case of pyelonephritis with Klebsiella pneumoniae that led to SPE in an 80-year-old woman with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (DM). Computed tomography (CT) revealed multiple nodules in the peripheral area of the bilateral lung and a contrast defect in the right renal vein, which was suspected to be an embolism. Blood and urine cultures revealed Klebsiella pneumoniae infection. These results confirmed the diagnosis of pyelonephritis and SPE. Treatment with ceftriaxone, cefazolin, and ciprofloxacin improved the patient's condition.
