Microbiologist in the Clinic: Antibiotic Dependent in her 30 s
摘要
In this third episode of the Microbiologist in the Clinic series, clinicians and laboratory scientists share their perspectives about a 32 y/o female who has become antibiotic-dependent for her urinary symptoms. Despite escalating methods of antibiotic administration, the patient has persistent and recurrent “UTI” symptoms. Extensive testing has not provided guidance for her treating clinicians. The challenges of this clinical presentation are discussed with evidence for evaluation and treatment.
