Here we report the clinical experience with a case of dramatic recovery from septic shock by ESBL-producing E.coli (ESBL E.coli): although the patient had fallen into disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), interestingly, the patient was suddenly relieved with non-active treatment. It’s not clear that he recovered from dying. There are no reports like our case through literature research in Japan. Our case has risk factors of ESBL E.coli infection, so it’s important that we consider the using of carbapenem-based antibiotics in the case of suspected ESBL E.coli infection.
