Metastatic infection caused by hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumonia and co-infection with Cryptococcus meningitis: A case report

Figure 1 CT tomography scan at admission and 10 d later. A, B: Axial CT images: lung window setting (A) and mediastinal window setting (B) (slice thickness 3 mm) showed a 25 mm × 27 mm, round, thick-walled cavity in the right upper lobe. C, D: Axial CT images: Lung window setting (C), and mediastinal window setting (D) (slice thickness 3 mm) showed that the thick-walled cavity had been absorbed to a 21 mm × 21 mm, thin-walled cavity after treatment for 10 d. CT: Computed tomography.

Figure 2 Body temperature and antibiotic use during hospitalization. Antibiotic use: imipenem-cilastatin sodium 2 g every 8 hr (days 1-11) and 1 g every 6 hr (days 12-16), tigecycline 0.1 g every 12 hr (days 4-16), voriconazole 0.2 g every 12 hr (days 1-11 and 12-16), meropenem 2 g every 8 hr + 5-fluorocytosine 1.5 g every 6 hr + fluconazole 0.4 g every 12 hr (days 16-18).
