The patient responded well to treatment and was afebrile within 72 hours after initiation of therapy. Antibiotic treatment was continued for 2 weeks. Repeat blood cultures were sterile. The pacemaker was reimplanted in the right pectoral region. [ijidonline.com]
In spite of vigorous antibiotic treatment, he developed signs and symptoms of gram-negative bacillary shock with hypotension, hypothermia, pallor and abdominal distention and he died on the fifth day in the hospital. [ijdvl.com]

Pathophysiology The pathophysiology remains unclear but multiple hypotheses have been suggested. Cerebral edema was one of the earliest proposed pathological mechanisms for IIH. [eyewiki.aao.org]
Pathophysiology The pathophysiology of IIH is unclear. A dominant early theory held that cerebral edema played a role in the pathogenesis of elevated ICP in these patients. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The adequate evaluation of the patient at risk, prevention, and early therapy are essential. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Infection surveillance and control programs play a key role in prevention of nosocomial infections in hospitals. [sjimu.medilam.ac.ir]
Doctors try to treat the infection, sustain the vital organs, and prevent a drop in blood pressure. Many patients receive oxygen and intravenous fluids. Other types of treatment, such as respirators or kidney dialysis, may be necessary. [icdlist.com]
Selective decontamination should be considered in compromised patients with oral carriage of AGNB to prevent serious systemic infection. Additional information Refereed Paper References 1 Preston A J, Gosney M A, Noon S, Martin M V. [nature.com]
