Popis: | Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an uncommon cause of necrotizing acute community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Only thirteen cases have been previously reported in the literature. In this article, we describe a case of previously healthy 80-year-old male patient, who presented in septic shock caused by necrotizing CAP. Despite inadequate empiric antimicrobial treatment, the patient survived and was able to return to his home after three weeks of hospitalization. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case of septic shock secondary to P. aeruginosa necrotizing CAP and bacteremia, with optimal clinical outcome. We highlight the evolution of this pathology remains unpredictable, despite the factors related to the host and the bacterium. Keywords: septic shock, community-acquired pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, cavity lesion |
