Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess (KPLA) is an emerging syndrome with the initial cases described in Taiwan in the 1980s. There is high mortality with this condition, and immediate aggressive treatment is necessary. Diabetes mellitus (D.M.) is the single most important risk factor for developing KPLA. Here, we describe a rare case of recurrent cryptogenic Klebsiella pneumoniae pyogenic liver abscess (KPLA) in a young man with poorly controlled type 1 D.M.

Left Liver Lobe

Pyogenic liver abscess, having experienced an evolving pathogenesis over the years, still remains a serious problem with significant morbidity. Iatrogenic and ascending biliary infections are the most common known etiologies for hepatic abscess. Here we report an interesting case of an elderly lady admitted with abdominal pain due to a pyogenic liver abscess in the left liver lobe which was attributed to perforation by an ingested fish bone. The authors also reviewed literature for management for this rare case as there are no standard guidelines. Our patient was successfully treated with antibiotics and percutaneous drainage with foreign body left in situ.

Fusobacterium Varium

We present a very rare case of concurrent empyema and liver abscess caused by Fusobacterium. Our patient presented with 3-month history of subtle abdominal discomfort and cough leading to eventually presenting with marked chest pain, dyspnoea and septic shock. CT revealed a liver abscess and large right-sided pleural effusion. Drainage of the pleural effusion yielded gross pus with the growth of Fusobacterium varium, while drainage of the liver abscess yielded Fusobacterium nucleatum. The patient responded to drainage and antibiotic therapy with resolution of symptoms and decrease in the size of empyema and abscess on follow-up imaging. We also include a review if literature of related fusobacterial infections.
