Necrotizing pneumonia or pulmonary gangrene
Necrotizing pneumonia for staohylococcus epidermidis
Keywords:
Coagulase-negative, necrotizing pneumonia, staphylococci epidermidisAbstract
We present the case of necrotizing pneumonia in a young patient without chronic comorbidities, who presented a torpid with subsequent death, highlighting in this case, subacute evolution, as well as the isolation of Staphylococcus epidermidis coagulase-negative resistant to vancomycin, acquired in the community, which finally resulted in a poor prognosis. The importance of the tomographic image is emphasized, as well as the evaluation for chest surgery, as it is important invasive surgical management or chest, coupled with broad-spectrum drugs according to targeted crops or pleuropulmonary expectoration secretions.
