Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis

185
Cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disorder, significantly affects the function of exocrine glands. This genetically inherited disease is characterized by the production of thick and sticky mucus, which can severely affect various organs and systems in the body.
CF is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in a chromosome 7 gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common gene mutation leading to CF is the ΔF508 mutation,...

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Sepsis is a life-threatening condition requiring prompt diagnosis and management.
  • Adrenal abscesses are rare but serious infections that can lead to sepsis.
  • Campylobacter fetus (C. fetus) is an uncommon cause of human infections, particularly abscesses.

Observation:

  • A 69-year-old female with multiple comorbidities presented with sepsis.
  • Abdominal imaging identified an adrenal abscess from which C. fetus was isolated.
  • The patient developed a secondary infection with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli).

Findings:

  • This represents the first documented case of a C. fetus adrenal abscess.
  • The patient experienced a prolonged clinical course due to secondary infection and failure of source control.
  • A literature review of C. fetus-associated abscesses was conducted.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare pathogens like C. fetus in adrenal abscesses.
  • Effective source control and appropriate antibiotic selection are crucial for managing complex abscesses.
  • Further research into C. fetus infections may improve diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
