| A Klebsiella pneumoniae infection has a tendency to spread to multiple organs. It is
most commonly seen in patients with liver abscesses, but infection in more than three
organs without liver abscesses is unusual. We report one case of a K. pneumoniae
infection that presented acute pyelonephritis with left perirenal, anterior pararenal, left
psoas, and prostate abscesses without liver abscesses in a diabetic patient. With
effective antibiotics and ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage, the patient recovered
without significant sequelae. |
