Symptoms of rhabdomyolysis and subsequently acute renal damage were evident in an immunocompromised patient with a documented history of cerebrovascular accident (CVA), long-lasting right-sided hemiparesis, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and hypertension (AKI). Guillain Barre syndrome subsequently struck him.
Plasmapheresis was initially performed after haemodialysis. Following
hemodialysis, the patient experienced many episodes of vomiting as well as limb
weakness. On Day 6, a bloodstream infection with Candida kefyr and a urinary
tract infection with Enterococcus faecalis were detected. A culture revealed
the growth of Enterococcus faecalis. We describe a severe case of C. kefyr
bloodstream infection. The patient made a full recovery and was successfully
released with ongoing follow-up for the next six months.
