A case study: Viral Pneumonia induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome with super infection of ESBL producing Klebsiella pneumonia treated with Antibiotic Adjuvant Entity: ELORES

Viral pneumonia is a rising concern worldwide, especially in children and young adults. Viral pneumonia can rapidly progress to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) which is a syndrome of acute respiratory failure with symptoms of dyspnea, tachypnea and progressive arterial hypoxia requiring mechanical ventilation. Gram-negative super-infection with E. coli, Klebsiella spp., and P. aeruginosa are common in mechanical ventilated patients, leading to increased hospital stay, cost of treatment, morbidity and mortality in children. Here we discuss a case of viral pneumonia induced ARDS with nosocomial infection (super-infection) of ESBL producing K. pneumonia, in a patient hypersensitive to Meropenem and Colistin, treated successfully with newer antibiotic adjuvant entity: ELORES
