Summary

Case report describes 53 years old longtime diabetic patient, hospitalized due to unhealed defect in the right lower extremity, fever and shortness of breath. When patient was admitted, complained about pain and swelling of the right lower extremity, defect with excretion of pus. Associated with shortness of breath and fever up to 39 °C. Laboratory findings revealed increased kidney parameters and inflammation indicators. Differential diagnosis of dyspnea was realized in cooperation with pulmonologist during hospitalilzation while empirical antibiotics treatment was continued. On the ninth day of hospitalization occurred unexpected collapse with loss of consciousness and development of ventricular fibrillation, therefore cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed immediately, which was successful - vital functions and consciousness of the patient were restored. After temporal improvement of patient´s condition further inpatient period was complicated with the development of right lower limb phlegmona followed by systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). The patient underwent acute hemodialysis and antibiotic treatment was changed according to microbiological sensitivity. In spite of improved clinical status and laboratory results, the patient´s condition deteriorated progressively and on the 40th day of hospitalization cardiopulmonary failure occurred. The second cardiopulmonary resuscitation was not successful and the patient died.

Key words:
diabetes mellitus – multiorganomultivascular arterial disease – ventricular fibrilation
