Abstract

Pyogenic liver abscess due to Klebsiella pneumoniae is a rare clinical entity. It has emerged as an important infection complication in diabetics and its incidence in diabetics without intraabdominal or biliary tract infections is increasing. We present herein a case of multiple pyogenic liver abscesses due to K. pneumoniae in a diabetic patient and discuss clinical course, treatment and possible reasons for association between K. pneumoniae liver abscess and diabetes.
