Abstract |
Klebsiella pneumoniae causes pyogenic infection in various sites; with the risk of which increases
in patients with impaired immunity such as diabetes mellitus or liver cirrhosis. We experienced a
case of a 72-year-old alcoholic liver cirrhosis female diagnosed with perinephric abscess and
brain abscess caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae . Despite the medical and surgical managements;
patient died of secondary infection due to candidemia. This report suggests that clinician should
be alert to the possibility of septic metastatic lesions during the treatment of Klebsiella
pneumoniae infection. |
