Spondylodiscitis associated with recurrent Serratia bacteremia due to a transju...
Marques, Nuno; Sá, Rosa; Coelho, Filomena; Cunha, Saraiva da; Meliço-Silvestre, A.We report a case of spondylodiscitis caused by multiresistant Serratia marcescens in a cirrhotic patient who had several Serratia bacteremias after the placement of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) device. We concluded that an endovascular stent that can not be removed makes management of recurrent bacteremia difficult. Furthermore, back pain due to bacteremia is indicative of spondylodisc...
