Pyogenic liver abscess due to multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a space-occupying lesion in the liver associated with high morbidity and mortality. There are many risk factors associated with PLA such as underlying hepatobiliary disease, gastrointestinal malignancy, diabetes mellitus and alcoholism. Most PLA cases are polymicrobia...

Zusammenfassung:Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a space-occupying lesion in the liver associated with high morbidity and mortality. There are many risk factors associated with PLA such as underlying hepatobiliary disease, gastrointestinal malignancy, diabetes mellitus and alcoholism. Most PLA cases are polymicrobial caused by mixed enteric facultative and obligate anaerobic bacteria. Here, we present a case of multiple liver abscess caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae in a 46-year-old elderly patient who presented with gastrointestinal symptoms.
