Prolonged febrile illness due to CTX-M-15 extendedspectrum β-lactamase-producing <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> infection in Nigeria
We report on an 8-year-old patient with septicaemia unresponsive to therapy for five weeks. Undetected, extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) production by the infecting Klebsiella strain was regarded as responsible for treatment failure. Intravenously administered imipenem during the sixth week led...
