Clinical course after admission. Soon after admission, high-grade fever developed. Therefore, antibiotics administration was initiated (sulbactam/ampicillin at 3.0 g/day for 6 days, and, subsequently, pazufloxacin at 1000 mg/day for 4 days); the elevated inflammatory marker levels and high-grade fever were not resolved. After administering a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (loxoprofen sodium hydrate at 180 mg/day), temperature returned to normal. White blood cell counts and C-reactive protein levels remained elevated.
