Abstract:

Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) is an idiopathic disease with acute and critical onset. Although the incidence of AFLP is relatively low, its mortality remains high. When AFLP is complicated with multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and severe infection, especially hematogenous infection caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens, treatment becomes extremely difficult with an even lower survival rate. In the present work, we reported a 31-year-old primipara woman who developed AFLP complicated with MODS and severe infection at 37+5 weeks of gestation and received treatment in our hospital. The result of fast blood culture was positive for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia (CRKP). Based on this finding in combination with the results of drug sensitivity test, the quadruple regime using scheme imipenem cilastatin sodium, tigecycline, polymyxin and fosfomycin was implemented, and the patient was successfully cured. Successful treatment of pregnant women with AFLP complicated with MODS and/or hematogenous infection of CRKP can be achieved by using individualized combined antibiotic therapies on the basis of fast blood culture and combined drug sensitivity test. In this case, the patient was in a critical situation. In the treatment process, clinicians, clinical pharmacists and microbiologists should cooperate with each other and discuss the treatment plan together according to the pathophysiological characteristics of the patient, which was one of the key factors for successful treatment of the patient.
