We present a case of severe adenoviral pneumonia in a 20-year-old immunocompetent host with persistently high fevers. The patient was needlessly given multiple empiric antibiotics for non-existent bacterial co-infection. This case has important antibiotic stewardship lessons for practitioners in approaching fevers in the ICU.
我们报告一例20岁免疫功能正常的宿主发生的严重腺病毒肺炎,该患者持续高热。该患者因不存在的细菌合并感染而不必要地接受了多种经验性抗生素治疗。该病例为重症监护病房的从业者在处理发热问题时提供了重要的抗生素管理经验教训。
