Pneumonia caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens is increasing, and these infections are negatively associated with patient outcomes. Optimization of antibiotics has been suggested as a key intervention to improve clinical results, howeverwhat to do when there is no antibiotic treatment available? This case reports a 56-year-old man who developed necrotizing pneumonia due to multidrug- resistant Acinetobacter baumanni after infection with SARS-COV-2 and the use of high dosesof corticosteroids.
