One of the more heartbreaking cases I had when working in hematology:

7-year-old with bruising, general weakness, and anemia.

A blast cell, one of many. Indicative of possible leukemia. Followed up with the pathologist a few months later, with a diagnosis of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).

This is not the resistance I was signing up for!

A patient with a chronic UTI . We isolated a Klebsiella variicola, a bacteria that lives in your intestines.

But this one was out for blood.

This is why we finish our antibiotic courses as prescribed. Only a single antibiotic here that useable.
