Cefiderocol treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii retained spinal hardware infection causing reversible acute interstitial nephritis: Recto: Cefiderocol causing acute interstitial nephritis

Infections with extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (XDRAB) have limited therapeutic options. We report successful salvage treatment of XDRAB and Pseudomonas aeruginosa-infected retained spinal hardware with cefiderocol, despite the development of reversible acute interstitial nephritis after 32 days of treatment.
