Pseudomonas aeruginosa
This is such a mobile bacterium, which is the causative agent of a huge number of all kinds of infectious diseases. The danger of such a stick is that it is very resistant to the vast majority of all kinds of antimicrobial drugs. This bacterium got its name because it stains the nutrient medium in which it grows in a blue tint.
Let us consider in more detail the symptoms and treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Symptoms of the disease
Consider the features of the symptoms of diseases caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa:
- With endocarditis, people develop a fever along with a heart murmur and positive blood culture on Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Skin symptoms appear as Roth spots, Osler nodules, and hemorrhages. The spleen increases.
- With pneumonia in people under the influence of this stick, a cough occurs along with wheezing, fever, pallor and cyanosis, hypoxia, and sometimes shock.
- If the digestive system is affected by this wand, fever occurs along with signs of dehydration, indigestion and peritonitis.
- When skin with soft tissues is affected, hemorrhage occurs along with areas of necrosis that are surrounded by erythema, subcutaneous nodules, abscess, cellulitis and fasciitis.
Treatment
Symptoms and treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa are interrelated.
The following are the schemes of prescribed drugs for various manifestations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa:
- With endocarditis, patients are prescribed high doses of aminoglycosides, and, in addition, penicillins or cephalosporins with a wide range of effects. Treatment lasts up to six weeks.
- With pneumonia, treatment begins with two antibiotics, and in the course of improving the patient's well-being, one of the antibiotics is canceled.
- With bacteremia, due to the danger and severity of the pathological process, antibiotic therapy is prescribed before the results of blood culture come. Patients get “Aminoglycoside” and “Penicillin” or cephalosporins with a wide spectrum of effects, sometimes one of the medications changes to “Ciprofloxacin” or to the drug “Rifampicin”.
- With meningitis, the drug of choice is Ceftazidime, to which Aminoglycoside is connected. Antibiotic therapy lasts at least two weeks.
- In case of ear damage, a combination of antibiotics and corticosteroids is usually prescribed (for example, Metipred).
Thus, with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, treatment is carried out depending on the area of damage to the body.
