Fatal gas-forming pyogenic liver abscess due to Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is an uncommon disease with an annual incidence rate ranging from two to 45 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions worldwide. Gas-forming pyogenic liver abscess (GFPLA) is even rarer, which accounts for 7% to 24% of PLA. It is reported that GFPLA only accounted for less than 4% of all PLA over an eight-year period in a local hospital of Brunei. Here we present a rare...

متن کاملKlebsiella pneumoniae in Gastrointestinal Tract and Pyogenic Liver Abscess
To determine the role of gastrointestinal carriage in Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess, we studied 43 patients. Bacterial isolates from liver and fecal samples from 10 patients with this condition and 7 healthy carriers showed identical serotypes and genotypes with the same virulence. This finding indicated that gastrointestinal carriage is a predisposing factor for liver abscess.
متن کاملComparison of pyogenic liver abscess caused by non-Klebsiella pneumoniae and Klebsiella pneumoniae.
From January 1996 to April 2002, a total of 248 patients with pyogenic liver abscess were enrolled in this study. Abscesses caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae accounted for 69% (171) of cases. Abscesses caused by K. pneumoniae were more strongly associated with diabetes mellitus or impaired fasting glucose than liver abscesses caused by non-K. pneumoniae (70.2% vs 32.5%). Solitary abscess and mono...
متن کاملPrimary liver abscess due to Klebsiella pneumoniae in Taiwan.

However, over the past 15 years, we have observed a new clinical syndrome in Taiwan: liver abscesses caused by a single microorganism, Klebsiella pneumoniae. We reviewed 182 cases of pyogenic liver abs...
