Abstract

Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess is characterized by an aggressive clinical course with a high risk of metastatic complications. Early initiation of appropriate antibiotics and timely drainage are essential for successful management. However, large multiloculated Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscesses are associated with a high risk of percutaneous drainage failure.
