B33.20 ; 4A023N8
The patient is a 67-year-old female admitted to the hospital from the emergency room.
She reported that she had nausea and vomiting and a fever for the last two days. She
had been eating poorly for at least three days and within the last 12 hours started
having chills, racing heart, and shortness of breath. She noticed a strong odor and dark
color in her urine.
The complete blood count (CBC) on admission had a result of 24,000 white cells with a
shift to the left. Other laboratory tests confirmed an electrolyte imbalance, with
hyponatremia and hypokalemia. The urinalysis showed to many white blood cells to
count and many bacteria present. She was admitted for intravenous antibiotics and
rehydration fluids to correct the electrolyte imbalance.
The patient had been undergoing chemotherapy for recently diagnosed metastatic
carcinoma in her axillary lymph nodes. The patient had breast cancer diagnosed and
treated five years ago with surgery and chemotherapy. Her diagnosis on admission was
acute sepsis with a suspected urinary tract infection as the cause. A urine culture and
two blood cultures were positive for Klebsiella gram-negative organism.
After the initiation of the IV fluids and antibiotics, the patient improved and was able to
eat more ambulate. She had no vomiting or diarrhea. The repeat urinalysis and blood
counts showed values that were approaching a normal range. The oncologist examined
the patient in the hospital and determined her next chemotherapy session would be
delayed by two weeks to allow the patient to recover from this infection and regain her
strength. Both the attending physician and the oncologist agreed that the patient's final
diagnosis was sepsis due to underlying urinary tract infection, both due to Klebsiella
gram-negative organism infection, hyponatremia, hypokalemia, and history of breast
, cancer with metastatic disease in the axillary lymph nodes. The patient was discharged
home with home care nurses to visit the next day.
