Description:
This article provides an overview of a case study of a 12-month-old with
a history of blocked bile ducts and splenic malformation syndrome that
was admitted for a liver transplant. Following the procedure, the
patient suffered acute kidney injury, clinical seizures, and need for
additional surgeries for biliary duct reconstruction. The authors
describe the treatment process for the resulting infection.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe a case study related to Gram-positive bacilli
- Identify testing procedures and treatment processes for the resulting
infection
- Contrast antimicrobial agents and therapeutic techniques used to
treat the infection
