On the fifth day of a course of antibiotic therapy for acute Klebsiella pyelonephritis, a 21-year-old pregnant woman developed adult respiratory distress syndrome. She improved rapidly on fluid restriction and intravenous furosemide and did not require mechanical ventilation. 17 weeks later, after 40 weeks of pregnancy, she spontaneously delivered a healthy male infant weighing 3280 g.
