A bacterium resistant to most antibiotics was found in the boy’s body.
Demir’s illness began with symptoms of a viral infection. The boy was at home, but in 2 days the child’s condition worsened, symptoms of pneumonia began. The boy was treated with antibiotics at the local hospital in Drohobych, where the family lives. But there was no improvement. So the parents decided to turn to the Lviv “OHMADIT”.
As experts reported, the child was diagnosed with bilateral pneumonia, left-sided exudative pleurisy and fibrinothorax.
It will be recalled that the doctors of the Lviv “Okhmatdyt” treated a prematurely born boy with congenital pneumonia.
“Surgeons of the hospital performed a diagnostic and therapeutic thoracoscopy. Specialists examined the pleural cavity, separated the pleural adhesions. They also performed a number of medical and preventive measures to improve the health of the body and drain the pleural cavity – removing air, blood, or fluid from the pleural cavity, straightening the lungs, and eliminating the displacement of the mediastinum, which causes hemodynamic disturbances. The contents of the pleural cavity were sent for bacteriological culture. We found a bacterium that is resistant to most antibiotics,” noted thoracic surgeon Oleksandr Kolodiy.
Pneumonia causes intoxication, respiratory failure. Patients tolerate this disease with difficulty. However, the doctors managed to successfully treat the 2-year-old boy and discharge him home.
