Popis: | Background Prostate abscess is usually a complication of acute urinary tract infection. Invasive liver abscess syndrome is characterized with Klebsiella pneumoniae related multiple organ metastasis. Concomitant pyogenic liver abscess and prostate abscess have rarely been reported. Recurrent episode of liver abscess is even rarer. Case presentation We report a 71-year-old male with acute bacterial prostate abscess and urinary tract infection caused by K. pneumoniae associated with multiple liver abscess, psoas muscle abscess and osteomyelitis. Blood culture and urine culture yielded K. pneumoniae, which confirmed the diagnosis of invasive liver abscess syndrome caused by K. pneumoniae. The patient was successfully treated with empirical antibiotics for 6 weeks. Conclusions This case emphasizes the importance of timely and accurate diagnosis followed by appropriate treatment in disseminated K. pneumoniae infection to prevent significant morbidity and mortality. |
