- Abstract
- Klebsiella are opportunistic pathogens that cause a wide spectrum of severe diseases, such as septicemia, pneumonia, urinary
tract infection, and soft tissue infection. Klebsiella oxytoca is rarely isolated from human clinical specimens, and bacteremia due to
Klebsiella oxytoca remains relatively uncommon.
We experienced a case of liver abscess due to Klebsiella oxytoca in a 71-year-old male with a history of pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy
(PPPD) 4 years earlier. The patient was diagnosed with hemobilia secondary to a pseudo-aneurysm at the
lower pole of the abscess cavity during antibiotic treatment
