摘要

Background

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of sepsis cases resulting from mixed infections of Klebsiella oxytoca and Aeromonas hydrophila worldwide.

Methods

We report a rare case of sepsis caused by a mixed infection of Klebsiella oxytoca (K. oxytoca) and Aeromonas hydrophila (A. hydrophila) encountered in China.

Results

The patient's disease progressed rapidly, posed a significant threat, and presented challenges throughout the diagnosis and treatment process. Fortunately, the patient was eventually cured and discharged from the hospital.

Conclusions

The peculiarity of this report lies in the spontaneous rupture of the patient's pancreatic cyst, leading to abdominal contamination and subsequent sepsis caused by a mixed infection of K. oxytoca and A. hydrophila. The prompt administration of rapid and effective antibiotics, along with supportive therapies, played a pivotal role in the successful recovery of our patient.
