Material for Year 1 Semester 1 Med PPSD session on 12th November 2008
Background
A patient on long-term calcium treatment for osteoporosis developed an infection found on culture and sensitivity to be highly sensitive to tetracycline. She did not improve on treatment with an adequate dose of tetracycline after 10 days. The GP treating her did not know about her calcium medication. The case was referred to a consultant who instantly found the reason for non-response.
