Two cases of Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess necessitating liver resection for effective treatment.

B Maybury1, A Powell-Chandler1, N Kumar1.   

Abstract

We report two British cases of liver abscess, due to Klebsiella pneumoniae and associated with synchronous infection elsewhere, which required liver resection for definitive treatment. They illustrate the geographic spread of aggressive K pneumoniae liver infection and demonstrate the importance of early aggressive treatment.
