Aztreonam/avibactam during continuous venovenous haemodiafiltration in a critically ill patient with NDM-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae: a case report and review of the literature.

Key takeaways

A 76-year-old woman with failed kidneys got a serious infection from bacteria that resist most antibiotics. Doctors treated her with aztreonam/avibactam while she was on continuous dialysis in intensive care, and report how the drug behaved in her body. Almost nothing has been published on this combination, so the report is useful to specialists. One patient is not a study, so there are no results that apply to people generally.
