Introduction: Infection of vascular access site is major
source of bacterial infection in ESRD patients on chronic
hemodialysis
and is also major cause of death in ESRD patients.
Necrotizing aortitis is a very rare and life-threatening
complication of local or generalized bacterial infections in
chronic hemodialysis patients. Staphylococcus aureus
accounts
for the majority of Gram-positive infections. However,
Gram-negative bacilli, such as Salmonella and proteus
species and Escherichia coli, have been described.
Recently we experienced an ESRD patient on chronic
hemodialysis
complicated with aortitis and pseudoaneurysm rupture.
Case: A 60-year-old male came to our hospital with
dyspnea and fever. He had type 2 DM and hypertension
for
20yrs. He got CAPD due to diabetic ESRD 4 yrs ago and
was transferred to hemodialysis 2 yrs ago due to recurrent
PD catheter related infection and peritonitis. One month
ago, his AV fistula did not function anymore and he got
AV graft surgery on his left forearm. Blood pressure was
171/93 mmHg, heart rate 92/min, respiratory rate 20/min,
body temperature 38.0℃ on admission. His consciousness
was clear but complained of dyspnea. Painful redness
and
pus discharge on the AV graft site were observed. The
complete blood counts showed hemoglobin 8.4 g/dl,
hematocrit
25.6% WBC 6,200 cells/μL, and platelet 264,000/μL. The
results of blood chemistry were as follows: AST 14
IU/L, ALT 11 IU/L, total protein 6.4 g/dL, albumin 3.1 g/dL,
BUN 13.9 mg/dL, creatinine 5.59 mg/dL. Serum sodium,
potassium and chloride were 138 mEql/L, 3.3 and 98
mEq/L. C-reactive protein was 7.2 mg/dL. On arterial
blood
gas analysis, pH was 7.51, PaO2 64 mmHg, PaCO2 32
mmHg, bicarbonate 25.5 mEq/L and O2 saturation 94%.
Chest
X-ray and CT revealed massive amount of Lt. pleural
effusion, collapsed left lung and 4 cm sized
pseudoaneurysm
of aortic arch. The color of pleural effusion was bloody
and RBC 11,000 cells/m3, WBC 500 cells/m3, protein 4.3
g/dL,
LDH 1,130 IU/L, hematocrit 1%. Effusion drainage via chest
catheter was performed. On 3rd hospital day, hypovolemic
shock appeared suddenly and did not recover in spite of
massive blood transfusion and fluid supplement. Finally
he died from massive intrathoracic hemorrhage due to
rupture of aortic pseudoaneurysm. Staphylococcus aureus
was
grown in his blood culture. |
