ABSTRACT

Background:

Perianal infection has a high incidence and mortality rate in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Sometimes there is a lack of effective anti-infective treatment regimens. Case Presentation A 58-year-old male diagnosed with AML presented with secondary perianal infection and septic shock upon admission. Although multiple pathogen cultivation and antibiotic sensitivity tests indicated the presence of sensitive strains, the corresponding antibiotics were ineffective. As a last resort, carrimycin was introduced, ultimately controlling the infection and leading to disease remission.

Conclusion:

Carrimycin is a complementary treatment option when conventional antibiotic therapy fails. It operates through multiple mechanisms beyond its antibiotic properties and warrants further investigation.
