Abstract:
This case focuses on a general medical patient who resides in a local senior community-housing center and who has multiple comorbid diseases that are commonly seen in practice. The patient's past medical history includes coronary artery disease, peptic ulcer disease, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The patient was recently hospitalized and treated with an intravenous antibiotic for an influenza-related pneumonia infection, then discharged with a prescription for a course of oral fluoroquinolone antibiotics. This case discusses and addresses each of the patient's conditions, various drug interactions, and issues pertaining to the patient. An interdisciplinary-team approach is important for the medical management of a patient with multiple comorbid diseases along with the contribution of a consultant pharmacist as pharmacotherapy expert.
