摘要
Virulent serotypes of Klebsiella pneumoniae are recognised to cause metastatic infections at various sites. Prevalence of this invasive syndrome has been observed worldwide with predominance in Asian series. However, reports in an Australian setting have been limited. We report two cases of fulminating community-acquired invasive Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess syndrome occurring in two Caucasian patients, from two different, distant suburbs in Western Australia with no known clinical comorbidities prior to the hospital presentation and no history of recent travel overseas. The interval between both admissions was 18 days, where only one patient survived.
