This case report presents a unique instance of abscesses with an uncommon pathogen isolated from blood cultures. We present the case of a perianal abscess in a 50-year-old man with a history of cocaine abuse and bilateral hip replacements. The rapid progression led to septic shock and multi-organ failure, requiring intensive care unit admission, surgery including protective transversostomy. Blood cultures showed growth of Butyricimonas spp. with resistance to penicillin and piperacillin-tazobactam. The immediate switch to meropenem led to a significant improvement in the patient’s condition. The patient was discharged after 40 days of hospitalization in good general condition and the reversal of the transversostomy was performed six months later.

There are many ways to take medication, but inhaled treatments are the most direct way to get to the lungs. If you have a chronic (long-term) respiratory condition like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)—or even an acute (short-term) illness like bronchitis—you may be prescribed a nebulizer. These devices provide aerosolized treatments, which turn liquid medication into an inhaled mist, delivering high concentrations of medication directly to the lungs.
