Zusammenfassung: | Klebsiella pneumoniae causes pyogenic infections in various sites, with the risk of which increases in patients with diabetes mellitus. Recently, K. pneumoniae has emerged as a leading cause of pyogenic liver abscess. Primary liver abscess caused by K. pneumoniae in the absence of underlying hepatobiliary disease is commonly associated with metastatic infections such as endophthalmitis, meningitis, brain abscess and infection in other sites. We experienced a case of K. pneumoniae liver abscess associated with septic metastatic lesions including pyomyositis and infected aneurysm of aorta. Despite the aggressive management with antibiotics, surgical pus drainage and aortic bypass graft, patient died of ventilator associated pneumonia and multiorgan failure. Our experience suggests that clinicians should be alert to septic metastatic infections when they treat a patient with K. pneumoniae liver abscess. KCI Citation Count: 1 |
