Abstract:
We describe the emergence of Providencia stuartii infection and subsequent bacteremia in a bedridden patient with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus. Despite empirical treatment, the disease progressed, leading to septic shock and below-knee amputation. We examine the timing and clinical progression of the infection, highlighting that P. stuartii wound infections in diabetic patients can lead to severe complications. Early detection and appropriate intervention are crucial to prevent such outcomes.
