We report a multidrug-resistant strain of Leclercia adecarboxylata which was responsible for a catheter-related bacteremia, in a 50-year-old female with an end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis. The isolated strain was an extended beta-lactamase producer. Based on a literature review of L. adecarboxylata, there have been only two reports of extended beta-lactamase producer strains. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in Saudi Arabia.

Abstract Background: In patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), disease activity can persist even after initiating dialysis. However, guidelines for the treatment of patients with SLE after dialysis is initiated have not yet been established. Case presentation: We describe the case of a 62-year-old Japanese woman who was diagnosed with SLE at age 12, progressed to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and initiated hemodialysis for lupus nephritis. However, SLE activity persisted after hemodialysis. Cyclophosphamide and mycophenolate mofetil were administered in addition to prednisolone and immunoadsorption, but this treatment strategy was limited by side effects. The patient was subsequently treated with belimumab, and the activity of SLE decreased rapidly. Conclusions: ESRD patients with SLE show no significant decrease in transitional B cells, and have elevated levels of B-cell activating factor (BAFF). Both transitional B cells and BAFF are important therapeutic targets for belimumab, indicating that patients with ESRD may benefit from belimumab therapy. However, the effects of belimumab may be potentiated in patients with uremia, who may be more susceptible to adverse events such as infections. Patients with SLE who receive belimumab after initiation of hemodialysis therefore require careful follow-up. Here we report the first case of belimumab administration in a patient with SLE after initiation of hemodialysis.

Immunotactoid glomerulopathy (IGN) is a rare immunoglobulin deposition disease. It is often mistaken for cryoglobulinemia or amyloidosis due to the similarities on biopsy findings. The disease progresses to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) within 7 months to 10 years. This is the first case reported of a patient with a diagnosis of IGN who developed acute kidney injury (AKI) and ESRD within 1 week of initial presentation.

Vancomycin induced thrombocytopenia (VIT) is an uncommon side effect of vancomycin which can manifest from mild petechiae to life-threatening bleed. Decreased renal clearance of vancomycin results in prolonged thrombocytopenia by antibody-mediated platelet destruction in the presence of vancomycin. Improvement in thrombocytopenia is achieved with the elimination of vancomycin. We describe a patient with end stage renal disease who experienced a protracted course of thrombocytopenia from vancomycin. We illustrate the mechanism of thrombocytopenia and the treatment modalities used by us and those described in literature. VIT is an important differential in patients with thrombocytopenia admitted to the hospital.
