Popis: | Carbapenem resistance, most notably in Klebsiella pneumonia (KPC), results in infections associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Here we report 2 cases of adolescent patients with KPC infection after high-risk bone marrow transplantation, who eventually succumbed from other causes and review the epidemiology and treatment options for KPC infections in this vulnerable population. |
