摘要
A 57-year-old man presents with fever, chills, and new lumbar back pain 2 weeks after undergoing a prostate biopsy because of an increased prostate-specific antigen level. His temperature is 39.7 degrees C; he has an enlarged, tender prostate and lumbar spine tenderness. His white-cell count is 9100 per cubic millimeter, and the C-reactive protein level is 343 mg per liter. Urine and blood cultures reveal multidrug-resistant, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli susceptible to imipenem. How should he be evaluated and treated?
