| description | A 72-year-old non-diabetic man was admitted to the intensive care unit because of liver abscess, cholecystitis, and septic shock. He underwent percutaneous catheter drainage and received intravenous antibiotics. Shock was improved, and the patient’s fever subsided. Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated in blood and bile cultures. However, he suddenly developed dyspnea and oxygen desaturation. Chest computed tomography scan revealed multifocal ground-glass opacities with consolidation with peripheral preponderance. Appropriate antibiotic therapy was provided for 2 weeks. The patient recovered fully, and cholecystectomy was then performed. Herein, we report a case of K. pneumoniae-induced liver abscess complicated with septic pulmonary embolism in a non-diabetic patient. |
