Background Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess (KPLA) combined with extrahepatic migratory infection (EMI) is defined as invasive KPLA (IKPLA) and is associated with a poor prognosis. The mechanism of IKPLA formation is yet to be elucidated. In this study, metagenomic sequencing was used to compare the bacterial characteristics between IKPLA and KP...

Klebsiella pneumoniae , found in the gastrointestinal flora is a causative agent of hospital-acquired infections. Although isolated organ infections are common, reports of multi-system involvement are rare. We report on a susceptible patient presenting with disseminated Klebsiella infection with concurrent multi-organ disease involving the lung, li...

Klebsiella pneumoniae has been the predominant pathogen of liver abscess, but ST11-K47 carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) has rarely been studied as the causative organism. We identified an ST11-K47 CR-hvKP (HvKp-su1) from the drainage fluid of a liver abscess in a Chinese man who was diagnosed with liver abscess com...

A series of abdominal computed tomography scans of an asymptomatic 40-year-old woman with a history of umbilical cord blood transplantation (CBT) for leukemia at 19 years old revealed the long-term gradual development of a right hepatic vein thrombus and stenosis of the inferior vena cava, leading to a diagnosis of Budd-Chiari syndrome. The Budd-Ch...

Liver abscesses (LAs) are extremely prevalent in cattle and result in significant economic losses due to liver condemnation, decreased growth and production, and lower carcass quality. LAs are commonly attributed to the transition to diets high in rapidly fermentable starch which results in rumen epithelial inflammation that allows pathogenic bacte...

Teaching Point: Spontaneous ruptured gas-forming pyogenic liver abscess (GFPLA) is a life-threatening infection that mimics perforation of hollow viscous and need to be accurately diagnosed by computed tomography, which in turn helps to decrease the operative time and improve patient’s prognosis.

Crohn’s disease (CD) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and extra-intestinal manifestations are common. Although common features of CD include fistulation and abscess formation, they typically manifest exclusively in the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract and in patients who do not have adequate control over their disease. Pyogenic liver ...

Entamoeba histolytica is a parasite responsible for intestinal amebiasis and possible extraintestinal manifestations, such as liver abscesses. India, Africa, Mexico, and Central and South America have some of the highest rates of infection due to poor socioeconomic and environmental conditions. The infection has become more common in the United Sta...

Haemophilus parainfluenzae ( H. parainfluenzae ) is a commensal organism of the gastrointestinal tract. It rarely causes hepatobiliary infections; however, in the presence of underlying inflammation, immunosuppression, or malignancy, it can cause hepatobiliary infection via an ascending route. Herein, we report a case of pyogenic liver abscess seco...
