A case report of lactobacillus bacteremia in a patient on chronic parenteral nutrition

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Short bowel syndrome is a malabsorption disorder typically caused by the physical loss of a portion of the intestine, whereafter the body is unable to adequately absorb nutrients, fluids, and electrolytes. Many patients with short bowel syndrome are reliant on home parenteral nutrition through a tunneled or peripherally inserted central catheter to ensure sufficient hydration and nutrition. Central venous catheters are a nidus for bacteria, and patients are at risk for infections associated with high levels of morbidity and mortality. Lactobacillus is a ubiquitous microorganism that most frequently colonizes mucosal surfaces such as the gastrointestinal tract. Lactobacillus bacteremia is rare, with limited occurrence in current medical literature.
METHODS: Our patient is a 60-year-old female with a past medical history significant for multiple abdominal surgeries resulting in short bowel syndrome, with subsequent dependence on home parenteral nutrition via peripherally inserted central catheter. She had type III chronic intestinal failure, category D2, and stage 1 moderate malnutrition. She was originally admitted to the hospital for a presumed pulmonary embolism and was found to have a deep vein thrombosis in the setting of her peripherally inserted central catheter. On admission her abdominal exam was unremarkable, she denied abdominal pain, and her only gastrointestinal complaint was chronic stable diarrhea. During the hospitalization she developed severe left lower quadrant abdominal pain and noted decreased frequency of her bowel movements. A computed tomography scan of her abdomen revealed chronic stable intestinal distension and was concerning for obstruction. Clinically she remained without symptoms of acute obstruction or ileus. During the admission she became febrile, with blood cultures from her peripherally inserted central catheter and peripheral IV growing out gram negative rods determined to be lactobacillus bacteremia. The infectious disease team recommended removal of her peripherally inserted central catheter given their concern for a line infection.
RESULTS: The patient was treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics, did well clinically, and was ultimately discharged following reinsertion of her peripherally inserted central catheter after negative repeat blood cultures. Though she initially did well in the outpatient setting, she ultimately passed away ten months later after re-presenting to the hospital in septic shock, secondary to bowel ischemia and suspected fungemia of her peripherally inserted central catheter.
CONCLUSIONS: In this case report, we describe an unusual case of a patient with short bowel syndrome on chronic parenteral nutrition who developed catheter-associated lactobacillus bacteremia - the first reported case in an adult patient on parenteral nutrition.
