Title: | Spondylodiscitis associated with recurrent Serratia bacteremia due to a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS): a case report | Authors: | Marques, Nuno Sá, Rosa Coelho, Filomena Cunha, Saraiva da Meliço-Silvestre, A. |
Keywords: | Serratia marcescens; Recurrent bacteremia; Spondylodiscitis; TIPS | Issue Date: | Oct-2007 | Publisher: | SciELO | Citation: | The Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases. 11:5 (2007) 525-527 | Abstract: | We report a case of spondylodiscitis caused by multiresistant Serratia marcescens in a cirrhotic patient who had several Serratia bacteremias after the placement of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) device. We concluded that an endovascular stent that can not be removed makes management of recurrent bacteremia difficult. Furthermore, back pain due to bacteremia is indicative of spondylodiscitis. Serratia marcescens can be an aggressive pathogen, causing spinal infection | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/12782 | ISSN: | 1413-8670 | DOI: | 10.1590/s1413-86702007000500016 | Rights: | openAccess |
