Staphylococcal Sepsis with Multiple Abscesses, Urinary Tract Infection, and Bilateral Renal Vein Thrombosis in a Patient with Uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract EN

We report a case of staphylococcal sepsis with vascular complications including peripheral emboli and renal vein thrombosis.

Bilateral renal vein thrombosis has not been reported as a complication of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) axillary abscess.

Uncontrolled diabetes was the only detected predisposing medical condition.

The patient was treated successfully with incision and drainage of soft-tissue abscesses and intravenous antibiotic for six weeks and with anticoagulation for renal vein thrombosis.
