| Core Tip |
This three-year study from a tertiary hospital in Southern Vietnam shows that Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) is now the leading cause of pyogenic liver abscess, responsible for nearly 80 percent of cases. Patients with K. pneumoniae infection were more likely to have diabetes, higher inflammatory markers, and typical computed tomography findings with irregular margins and heterogeneous internal structure. All deaths in this cohort occurred in the K. pneumoniae group. These results highlight the importance of early antibiotic coverage active against K. pneumoniae, timely image-guided drainage, and close clinical monitoring in areas where this organism is common. |
