Klebsiella pneumoniae Liver Abscess as a Cause of Lung Entrapment: A Case Report and Literature Review

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

A pyogenic liver abscess is a rare and potentially life-threatening disease, but the development of new treatment options has significantly improved its prognosis. Diseases resulting from Klebsiella pneumoniae infection are frequently associated with diabetes, malignancy, and hepatobiliary disease, particularly bile duct stones. This infectious agent is also frequently associated with severe complications, some of which are metastatic. We describe a complex case of a woman who presented with a pyogenic liver abscess due to Klebsiella pneumoniae infection, in which the atypical presentation delayed the diagnosis, and whose evolution was complicated by an uncommon and difficult-to-treat complication.
