Klebsiella PneumoniaeKlebsiella Pneumoniae Cause Urinary Tract Infections. Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common hospital-acquired infectious agent, causing urinary tract and abdominal infections and hospital infected pneumonia. Klebsiella pneumoniae can be found in a person’s mouth, skin, and intestines. Klebsiella is second to E. coli as the cause of urinary tract infections. The reported number of cases is up approximately 50% in the last five years and there is a 66% mortality rate in untreated patients.

 

Causes & Symptoms

Klebsiella pneumonia generally affects people with underlying diseases, such as alcoholism, diabetes and chronic lung disease. Typically, Klebsiella pneumonia causes a severe, rapid-onset illness that often causes destruction in the lungs. Infected people get high fever, chills, flu-like symptoms and cough up a lot of mucous. Klebsiella pneumonia causes lung destruction and pockets of pus in the lung (known as abscesses). Additionally, the risk of death is much higher then regular pneumonia.

Treatment

Klebsiella pneumoniae is generally treated with Aminoglycosides and Cephalosporins prescription medications, but is resistant to Carbenicillin, Ampicillin, Quinolones, and increasingly to Ceftazidime.

I must have called my attorney Alex Tovstolug and his paralegal Katherine Snedecor over 70 times since my case arrived in Parker Waichman's litigation dept. Honestly, I don't remember one time where my call wasn't taken or returned the same day. With every encounter, the staff and attorneys at Parker Waichman treated me with respect, understanding and, above all, patience. Alex and Katherine always made me feel as if my case was their top priority, and that they were only concerned with getting the best outcome FOR ME. In the end, we did get the best outcome and I was privileged to see Alex at trial and at his finest! I can't thank you guys enough for taking my case, for working so hard on my case; and for always putting me first.
