  2. HPI • 25 yo Caucasian female with history of severe Cystic Fibrosis underwent a double lung transplant on 1/10/07. • On 1/11/07 she underwent evacuation of a left sided hemothorax as well as takedown and revision of the left pulmonary artery anastomosis.

  3. HPI • Post-operative course further complicated by episode of asystole after central line placement (sp) resuscitation. • Renal failure thought to be due to tacrolimus. Patient had been on CVVHD since 12307.

  4. HPI • She was difficult to “wean” from ventilator but on 2/5/07 was successfully extubated. • She had been on TPN during this time. • She has required epogen for anemia and has had several blood transfusions, most recently on 2/8/07

  5. HPI • During the night of the 9th, an RN was drawing blood from the patient who appeared confused and asked RN what she was doing. Patient then began staring into space and gasping for breath. She was given narcan for possible dilaudid OD. She had twitching all over for a few hours. She was intubated. Neurology called, MRI of brain performed.

  6. MRI: 2/9/2007 • 1. Leptomeningeal enhancement, most prominently seen over the posterior parietal and occipital lobes.

  7. HPI • Critical Care Fellow on Transplant Service was preparing for LP and called ID Fellow on call with question “What empiric antifungals should we place this patient on after LP?”

  8. Past Medical History • Cystic fibrosis: • Severe pulmonary disease on 4L via NC continuously • Portal gastropathy • Hepatic disease • Pancreatic insufficiency • H/O Multi-drug resistant pseudomonas. • Massive hemoptysis in 2005. • Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy

  9. Social History • She was living nearby in a temporary house with her father prior to transplant surgery. Had worked as social worker in the midwest. No etoh, no tobacco. Travel history unknown.
